Auckland Art Fair 2016 with PAULNACHE

For my first art fair show, I wanted to make something that went with the spectacle of the event – all the fun of the fair! I collaborated with my friend and performer Elibra Fleur to produce a painting that moved and vogued, so the art became more than what I could produce by myself. This began a very fruitful move into collaboration with other creatives. Photo Thomas Teutenberg.
