With Fieldays fast approaching, entries for this year's Number 8 Wire art competition are in and judge Tony Nicholls is getting ready to select the best.
A Hamilton artist, Tony has won national prizes for his kinetic sound sculptures.
For Tony, the winning piece will have a good concept as well as sound construction.
"I don't like art that is all concept at the cost of the object, I like a marriage of the two," he said.
This year, 14 entries have been selected as finalists for display at ArtsPost on Victoria St.
