Title: 27th July 2015

195cm x 105cm x 50cm

This painted antique wardrobe realised my desire to shift my paintings off the wall and have them inhabit the same space as the viewer. Incorporating gold leaf, glass spheres, bones, and painted inside and out, it was back-breaking work but drew instant attention at “Here Comes Everyone” OREXART 2015 and Auckland Art Fair with PAULNACHE 2016. Private Collection.
