Made from a mosaic of hand-cut ceramic tiles, ceramic flowers, beach-tumbled glass and Tuatara Beer caps, “Florian” uses his acute extra sensory superpowers to hunt out divine nectar from local flora and fauna to aid in his vision questing.

Here he stands proudly adorned in an assortment of culinary favourites including the Manuka, Pohutakawa, Poroporo and Puawhananga flowers in full bloom.

“Florian” has also been known to dabble in a spot of foraging and ingesting rare edible fungi, causing his pupils to momentarily resemble that of his friend the Tuatara, resulting in profound and pleasant third eye activation connecting the physical and spiritual worlds.
