AP362 Breast Plate and Pendant

Gold lipped oyster shell, vau, 2007, by Alan Preston

From AVID exhiition: The Stuff Necklaces Are Made Of  February 2018

The cut-out motifs used by Preston on this work are derived from church architecture (Pitt St Methodist church). Later pieces were also influenced by designs Preston saw on the back of clerical garments, after watching the tangi of Te Arikinui Dame Te Ātairangikaahu and also seeing the stained glass windows while attending the funeral of a relative in Old St John’s Anglican church, Te Awamutu.

This piece was made in 2007 and exhibited at AVID Gallery in 2008. It relates specifically to the stained glass window tri-foil architecture in the Pitt Street Methodist Church.
