An exhibition of new prints and drawings by John Pusateri.

American born John Pusateri lives and works in New Zealand and is the founder of the Auckland Print Studio. John's work has frequently referenced museum exhibits from collections in New Zealand and in the US. To John a humble museum exhibit is more than just a scientific curiosity. It is simultaneously a real animal, a symbol for it’s species, a story of a particular animal, a pile of bones and feathers, a scientific notion and a hope for future survival. John Pusateri’s new works evolve through the layering of photography, drawing and painting in complex transitions that echo the shifting life of a 'specimen' and its context.
