Garden Art from Recyled Metals

Alfred from Petone

Upper Hutt artist, Bruce Winter, is exhibiting his funky art at Artspace Gallery on the Petone foreshore together with paintings by Stephanie Crisp. Bruce creates amazing sculptures out of recycled materials and over the last 20 years, Bruce has developed his amazing 3D art style, often incorporating his stone sculpture skills together with mixed media constructions, combining wood, stone and metal. He often makes use of recycled materials to create something new and likes to utilize the inherent emotion of materials that have been etched, worn and or corroded and incorporates them into exciting new works that evoke a mixture of nostalgia and curiosity.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
