View this post on Instagram For the 2019 #WhauArtsFestival, I’ve installed my ongoing Daily Bread project at Te Whau Eatery (@tewhaueatery), 1790 Great North Rd, Avondale. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Daily Bread consists of a constantly growing chain of repurposed plastic bread tags, kindly donated by many people in my local community. I’ll continue to add to it over time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The work can be viewed at Te Whau Eatery now, and the Whau Arts Festival runs from 15 June – 7 July 2019. See whauthepeople.com for other festival programme deets. Thanks to Claudia at Te Whau Eatery, and Ina, Jody, and Lissa @whauthepeople and All Goods, Whau Arts Space for helping make this installation happen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #contemporaryart #sculpture #jjprojects #johnjohnston #leavenotrace #artgram #artstagram #art #artwork A post shared by John Johnston (@jjprojects) on Jun 11, 2019 at 2:00pm PDT

View this post on Instagram Yesterday I added more to my sculpture Enough Rope in the Tāmaki Estuary Art & Ecology Prize exhibition, at Malcolm Smith Gallery. The idea is to keep adding to the rope over time, reflecting the endless production and consumption of single-use plastic. Enough Rope is braided from repurposed, single-use plastic. 📷 by curator Zoe Hoeberigs (@zoe.a.black) #sculpture #artwork #plastic #environment #contemporaryart #artwork #artgram #artstagram #artistsoninstagram #art #jjprojects #johnjohnston A post shared by John Johnston (@jjprojects) on Jul 20, 2018 at 2:14pm PDT
