Organisers of an art exhibition in Whangarei want people to bring along their once-treasured objects to turn them into objets d'art.
Public participation is required for Shadow Collection art exhibition to be held at NorthTec's Geoff Wilson Gallery next month.
Arts tutor Ellie Smith and photographic artist Cathy Tuato'o Ross want as many people as possible to bring once-treasured possessions along to be photographed and possibly included in the exhibition.
Their Shadow Collection will feature photos of the shadows cast by objects which once held significance for people.
The objects they are seeking are those which were once treasures; were once significant to someone else; or have been kept simply because people feel they must preserve them.
