Rotorua Museum is hosting an award-winning exhibition of work by a Kiwi sculptor described as the "Corrugated Iron Man of Australasia".
Corrugations: The Art of Jeff Thomson opened yesterday and is free for Rotorua residents.
It promises visitors a "fun and quirky" insight into the "unique processes" Thomson uses to craft his sculptures. Exhibits include an iron-clad Morris Minor, French knitting, and corrugated bouquets of flowers.
"I think that people relate to the material as it is so common. To see it used in such unusual ways seems to delight and amaze people," Thomson said.
Corrugations showcases three decades of the sculptor's work. Developed by Tauranga Art Gallery, it was crowned best exhibition under $20,000 at last year's NZ Museum Awards.
