Site: Courtenay Place, Wellington

Absurd but poignant, three kinetic artworks by artist James R Ford played out in a small window in Wellington's entertainment district. This small vacant site has since been filled by the property owner. The artworks all paired an item of play with a motorised household object as metaphors for our everyday existence and work-life balance: a pull-along toy on a treadmill, an inscribed cricket bat on a record player and a pair of dice in a foot spa. More information here.
