Observations of Life in New Zealand (and sometimes beyond) through art, architecture, photography, travel, tourism, design, food, the quirky, the bizarre, the comedic - a few of the things I am passionate about. This is my world - a world of contemplations, observations and small adventures.

Glass Treasures
Ann Robinson is New Zealand’s leading cast glass artist. She’s produced a stunning range of glass treasures including this luminous beauty that I photographed last year at Auckland’s SKYCITY Grand Hotel. “Side Carved Flax Pod 2002” is one of a series – saturated in colour, glowing almost. Robinson has had a significant impact on the Studio Glass Movement both nationally and internationally; she’s won multiple awards and exhibited internationally; and she’s been invited to teach at the prestigious Pilchuck Glass School in Washington, USA. You can see more of Ann’s stunningly beautiful pieces by checking in to www.annrobinson.com www.skycitygrand.co.nz

for what purpose i dont know but for YEARS i have been carrying around/keeping a blue(looks the same colour as your photo) vase by anne robinson that got broken. It upsets me still.It was a wedding present bought at zigzag gallery in cambridge I have the original paperwork about it,It won an exhibition .perhaps i imagine it will have healed itself mysteriously the next time I open the box.
