'It ain’t glamorous, but it does the job', that was the Kiwi attitude to corrugated iron, which is used for roofs, fences and sheds. Then Jeff Thomson started making art from it.... letterbox decorations ....then life-size penguins, cows and elephants.
His most famous creation was this Holden (an Australian made car). It was his only vehicle and drove all over NZ for three years. It’s now in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
