I had the good fortune of finally meeting John Pusateri last night, an artist based in New Zealand that I've kept an eye on for the last two years or so. My fascination of late with animals, taxidermy and sculpture was further reignited by looking at some of his recent work which includes a detailed study of birds. He has an exhibition coming up later in October at Seed Gallery in Newmarket, Auckland - which based on the work we've observed, will definitely be a success. Absolutely stunning work.
