Found buttons on wood

This work was first shown in Elliot Collins's solo show 'The Weight of Words', Auckland. 

Found driftwood and a collection of buttons come together to create an object of rare, singular beauty. Here, Collin's is questing the value of things, and asking us to consider that the overlooked things, the things that hold memory and nostalgia - such as buttons gathered over years, perhaps from grandparents, hold as much value as precious stone such as Pounamu. 

Elliott Collins won the prestigious Molly Morpeth Canaday Contemporary Art Award in 2024. He holds PhD in visual art from Auckland University of Technology. His work is held in significant private and institutional collections locally, including the Auckland Art Gallery, as well as internationally.
