Plenty More by Wayne Youle is an installation of more than 200 ceramic works, currently on show at recently re-located gallery The National, in Christchurch.

"I started to think...about the things that are most important to us spiritually and materially. Recent events in Christchurch have brought this home to me in a powerful way. It made me consider the importance we place on ‘things’… the wealth, objects, trinkets and treasures we accumulate in our lives.

"The vessels in this show are my collection of objects, created and accumulated over the last 12 months".

Youle's initial exhibition titled "Plenty" was shown at Tim Melville Gallery in Auckland. Reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, the 300+ works were installed on a long trestle table made of Rimu floorboards saved from a building destroyed by the Christchurch earthquake. "There’s nowhere to sit at my table but there’s so much to look at. So many shiny things to covet and admire and collect, and so many vessels to think about filling. There seems to be plenty on offer. But plenty of what?”

Plentymore at The National offers a new installation. All works are for sale.

Entry to The National, 212 Madras St, is currently via the back of the building, through the carpark off Tuam St.
