	Hawkes Bay Artists Alan Brown Grotto - Blue Madonna This piece was inspired by my finding the trough (lovingly used by generations of little hungry piggies) which after cleaning and standing it on end; took on 'Temple-like proportions' reminding me of the many grotto's in Italy and Spain. Tthe Madonna came as a result of the feeling that was generated by that imagery. back to top Jonathon Kane Codes of Life Large neck piece made from slices of banksea seed pods, seal wire, deer antler and flax fibre Rangi Kiu Kapua I / Cloud I Weaving designed to hang from the ceiling.
