Artists comment ... "I collect a lot of shells from all over New Zealand. I just looked into a little bit of the history of that area and I had been dabbling a little bit and playing around with concrete. It's something suggesting what was once there."

Jeff's sculptures are all over New Zealand and his most iconic use the ubiquitous corrugated iron .. just check out the article on Jeff by clicking on his name link above. Also check out some of the other Wellington sculptures
