  Jeff's World Tour - Downunder Oct 2005 (2)

Send an email to Jeff An intro to Jeff   Another art form that appeals to me because of the level of control available to the artist. See what I do besides pens and photography - Furniture, Jewelry boxes, sculpture and more    Home
Since the trip overlapped  a weekend I got to travel around the Auckland area a little bit on the Saturday.  My new friend Vanessa, who works for my friend David, took me around to a bunch of galleries and out to see some real scenery.  It was a most excellent day.
 
       

So Vanessa arranged for us to meet with this artist, John Edgar, at his home/studio which is probably close to Auckland but felt like it was out in the boondocks. The driveway is amazing to start with, you go from seeing nothing but sky over the end of the hood to looking straight down at the road through the windscreen. Hard to capture the perspective through the lens....

       

His work with glass and stone is unbelievable.... These in the boxes are 3" to 4" across, the 'raw stock' he has stacked up there are approximately 6" squares. 

       

       

Then we go in the house and see that his wife is a supremely talented glass artist.  After that we headed up to the Auckland Museum and see some of John's large scale work.  And I do mean large scale. That spike must be 12 or 14 feet tall!

       
Vanessa brought me out to Karekare and then to Piha Harbour.  The weather, unfortunately, was crap that day.  The wind was blowing insane and it might have gotten up to 50 degrees.  No tripod and little natural light means very few useful shots.
