"The NZ Art Guild are proud to present another NZ first - their 2007 Collaborative Project "PatchWorks". Its on display at the NZAG exhibition "Off the Brush" on now at the Bruce Mason Centre, Auckland.

Aptly named "PatchWorks", this awe-inspiring artwork has been created by 100 individual canvas patches, 88 of which are hand painted by 66 NZ artists from across the country. Sewn together in a coloured pattern, the result is a uniquely original single artwork, in the form of patchwork quilt. Inspired by the word "Soul", each artwork is a slice of imagination from the souls of each of the artists.

Size Approx 1.5mx1.5m. Buyer will get hanging rod/brackets, an artists list, certificate of authenticity & informational story.
