Eligh’s main medium is different, and often unexpected, types of wood, and his art is displayed in The Boring Gallery.
“He’s producing some pretty cool work,” says Peter. Eligh also designs and makes furniture, and he produces a range of wood treatment emulsions.
Alyssia’s figurines are beautifully displayed in the gallery and they are proving to be in demand, as is her jewellery.
“It’s a new thing for her, but she feels like she’s found her niche,” says Peter.
Peter’s work is varied, with prints of iconic figures and well-known images from the man depicted on Zig-Zag rolling papers to coins old and new, and much more. Coins turn up in his own style of jewellery. His useful, larger, trademark items made from upcycled materials are also in evidence. Look out for the large insects above you. In a lot of his work, Peter loves to experiment. Be prepared to be surprised.
The work of another local artist, Steve Selfe, is also represented. Fans of a previous clock exhibition will recognise his style.
The Boring Gallery has been open since January 9. Most items are for sale.
“It’s a good feeling to be back into it,” says Peter. He plans on extending the gallery upstairs later this year in stage two of the venture.
The aim is to increase the variety of works exhibited and build the gallery over time.
“I just wanted to get it going, and so far, we’ve had a good response.”
He says he has a lot of support from the Arts Centre and enjoys being the “face” of the multiple galleries and attractions.
