Furry Fish
When I moved to Wellington in the early 1990s, the homes of some of my friends were decorated in a particular style – with plastic flowers, Barbie dolls, fairy lights, fake fur, and kiwiana collected from the city’s op shops and fairs. This aesthetic was strangely familiar… Around the same time I began seeing Judy Darragh’s work; it was starting to be included in public gallery exhibitions throughout the country. Here was that aesthetic again and it was identified as kitsch.
