It's a time honoured metal smithing affair with a fresh new twist

Patsy's paintings show weeds which she has incorporated to draw attention to their importance to the eco system as we enter times of water conservation. She also sees weeds as a metaphor for the overlooked in our society. Under Kaitiakitanga all are protected.
