Button Up
by Murray Crane
As part of Masterworks Gallery's online-only Button Up exhibition, artist Craig McIntosh has produced several sets of stunning stone buttons in pakohe and granite.
McIntosh's work "has been shaped by an ongoing relationship with the geological history and stone harvesting sites of New Zealand’s South Island. Positioning himself within a lineage that has sought to critically interrogate Pākeha use of stone (and other indigenous materials) within the colonial context, McIntosh has developed a practice that is self-aware and culturally critical of the impulse to appropriate."
As someone who works with buttons, I love these.
