GLDN KIWI
Created by Weston Frizzell
This year, art duo Weston Frizzell go straight for the nostalgic, referencing what was once New Zealand’s favourite national lottery, The Golden Kiwi.
As if cast in a single lump of pure gold, Weston Frizzell have given their Kiwi a knocked around patina, with the title and their trademark Weston Frizzell logo heavily embossed into the body of the golden bird, punched into the precious metal with a heavy hammer.
