Mutton Cloth in Copper - M04110
mixed media and acrylic on boxed canvas

As a Maori child growing up, Mutton cloth featured heavily in our lives as bags in the `Hangi` (or traditional Maori earth oven), as oil rags for motors in the garage, and even wiping the kitchen bench. The Metallic paint and refinements give an `evening wear` look to a humble household resource.
