Literature
This work shows Pahia Hill, Southland with a large imaginary monument, a vision of mechanical and vernacular redundancy. Living in a rural situation I amassed a certain amount of farm junk and eventually started making small assemblages. Recycling, going to Russia, old southern towns and Barry Brickell’s Driving Creek were all influences upon my work at this time. The title is something of a pun - Nigel Brown
