I dig it! It only takes one object that is out of the ordinary to inject a little intrigue or symbolism into an otherwise rigid still life. What way around does it go? I notice the bottle is on either side, so you must have reversed one of your pics?
Aside from the artists you mentioned, another to check out (perhaps less known in our part of the world) is August Holland, whose Tiki work has elements of still life in it.

Thanks mate!

I totally agree with your assessment of one object throwing a curve ... I like offbeat subjects within known forms since it tends to exemplify the way I feel about Tiki and Kustom Kulture generally. You are also correct about the flipped image ... the bottom image is the correct direction. Somehow I accidentally flipped the top pic before I saved it ... or was that some Papuan shaman trick!? :D

I have not come across August Holland but I will definitiely check him out now ... by the way where in Kiwi land are you ... North or South island?
