We asked Duncan Sargent to tell us a little bit about himself:
I have been interested in the intersection of art, design and craft for a while but to add food to mix seemed too good an opportunity to miss.
After I graduated from Ilam School of Fine Arts I worked in film and theatre for a few years. That’s when I started experimenting with objects and furniture design. I began my own business as designer/maker in Newtown about 20 years ago. The majority of my work is to order.
I have participated in shows at Dowse Art Museum, Hawke’s Bay Museum and Art Gallery, City Gallery Wellington, Shapeshifter (all of them) and Headlands Sculpture on Waiheke Island. My recent commissioned work includes Te Papa, and E Tu Awakairangi Hutt Public Art Trust.
