So much going on around Tauranga this weekend. It will be amazing down at the Historic Village where the Incubator and Steampunk aficionados will be putting it all on show…don’t miss the sculpture in the Incubator gallery. Steampunk Saturday tomorrow 8th September 2018!
I was prevailing upon the well-established good-nature of artist and gallery owner (with others) Nick Eggleston down at the Historic Village this afternoon as he put the final touches to his sculpture for the Incubator Steampunk exhibition. It was simply amazing. Have a look, but make sure you get on down there.
The care and detailing on this work is amazing
You won’t believe what this is…Nick’s concept is almost psychological
You will find Nick and his colleagues at Imprint Gallery at the Historic Village https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Shopping—Retail/Imprint-Gallery-225270567978029/
