View this post on Instagram Work in progress: Daily Bread I’ve been working on strands of interlocking bread tags. These 7 strands will be shown (hanging) next in the local ArtWest (Auckland) exhibition in late Oct. Each strand is 165cm long. This is the length of our kitchen table in our literal home studio, where I often have my daily bread, and make art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sculpture #breadtags #artwork #plastic #art #contemporaryart #artwork #artgram #artistsoninstagram A post shared by John Johnston (@jjprojects) on Sep 20, 2018 at 2:05pm PDT

View this post on Instagram I've again added more to my Enough Rope sculpture in the (Tāmaki) Estuary Art & Ecology Prize. It's growing week by week. The show runs until 19 August @malcolmsmithgallery, Howick. — Enough Rope is braided from repurposed, single-use plastic. The idea is to keep adding to the rope over time, reflecting the endless production and consumption of single-use plastic. — #sculpture #artwork #plastic #environment #contemporaryart #artwork #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #jjprojects #johnjohnston A post shared by John Johnston (@jjprojects) on Aug 2, 2018 at 1:45pm PDT

View this post on Instagram A slightly different install variation of my Enough Rope work, currently on show in the Tāmaki Estuary Art & Ecology Prize exhibition at Malcolm Smith Gallery. The work consists of a coiled length of handmade plastic rope, braided from repurposed, single-use plastic. I'll be adding to the rope over time, including during the exhibition, reflecting the endless production and consumption of single-use #plastic. – #sculpture #artinstallation #artwork #plastic #environment #contemporaryart #artwork #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #jjprojects #johnjohnston A post shared by John Johnston (@jjprojects) on Jul 10, 2018 at 2:07pm PDT

View this post on Instagram Final post on my 2 works installed down by the Whau River recently. This is a long rope made from repurposed single-use plastic. The installation was in association with a Whau River Catchment Trust (@whauriver) cleanup event.
