It was true pleasure to be invited down there and the stereotypical kiwi hospitality seemed to flow thick and fast...even my telly said hello to me...
whilst on the plane id been so jetlagged i'd forgotten that id snapped this...
(an image which actually ended up in my talk at semi-permanent days later)...i started to hum when i saw it and i guess it made me wonder about how your environment effects you, fairly pertinent to the book i was reading at the time...which we should all delve into if we want to understand more about this kind of thing...or maybe just look and marvel at them...
so after our arrival, me, harry and phil went for the usual wonky drift about in auckland, jetlag is sometimes a blessing and so is rain when you're a brit away from home as it made us huddle away from meandering and have a good old chinwag about the state of all things creative industy related and made us all feel better about what phil called the 'draw of shame' that everyone has in their studio (work that should never see the light again and be best forgotten)...allthough he did show one of his pieces from the draw which is actually quite nice ( go to more work/dyson - campaign)...WARNING!!!...never ask phil about washing machines as he really can wax lyrical about them for longer than you might think...on our search for junk, as all designers have a habit of spending their time doing i came accross this which has lost in translation slapped all over it... tho'...
and i'm not too sure what the oap's are up to over there but maybe this is another oddment (hopefully) confused only on its name...
