Jeff Thomson – New Work Thomson produces an extraordinarily diverse range of sculptures, all from corrugated iron. Celebrating what is distinctly of this land Thomson playfully explores objects from New Zealand’s culture and draws on a wide array of motifs from gumboots to feathers. The results nearly always defy the medium. Parodying traditional sculpture they are more about worldly art than they are about marble statuary. Thomson bends, burns and welds, belying the iron in order to capture a certain refinement. But as with his fine filigree lace-work curtains, this has more to do with depicting the subject matter itself, not the surface. Sculpture like Thomson’s, hell bent on construction and demolition, also makes its own statement on the vagaries of Fine Art.
