    collection #6 - Andrew Kerr’s “food with a face” food packaging - currently on display at Extra Bones H Q. Andrew collects various types of stuff, some of which is displayed on his tumblr alongside things he has made, via the link. This particular collection is on show with a (perhaps too) analytical (although tongue in cheek) pondering on the implications of presenting a consumable substance as a humanoid character… the other collections are here.

    collection #5, Ben Meschko’s passport photos - currently on show in the Extra Bones shop. Ben is also a great remember-er of birthdays and on Wednesday told me 5 different people he knew, who’s birthday it was. Ben also paints amazing, guttural semi-abstract landscapes and is generally a beguiling and awesome weirdo.

    This is Collection #4 - Rachael Mcarthur’s Stuff. I’m pretty sure that this is only a part of Rachael’s trinket collection, and that’s before her clothes, books, and everything else! Rachael also collects drawings done by the primary school children she works with, which inspire her own artwork. Have a good look at her website, esp. the installations - theyre so great!
