Tinkering with Intent
Delightful, creative and completely engaging, Blair Somerville's work
defies description, and evokes a sense of magic. He lives in the remote
town of Papatowai, on the South Island of New Zealand, and uses found
materials and other curious objects to re-purpose into moving artworks.
Blair realized early in life that he didn't need a lot to live, and that
money and material possessions were not important. Instead he has
chosen to value happiness, creativity, and well-being. He shares those
values through his public gallery, where there is the chance to be
irrevocably changed.
