Contemporary Upcycled Mixed Media Art & Assemblage – Made in Aotearoa
"Absoloutely stunning, the quality the colour -just incredible"
The Mother Nature Recreator is a provocative upcycled sculpture made from repurposed mirror, melted CDs, an old oven timer, tap, and resin-coated roses. Reflecting the human urge to tinker with nature’s balance, this one-of-a-kind piece dares us to consider whether our solutions are healing — or harming — the planet.
