I'm fundraising for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, to help fund breast cancer education, research and patient support. Please donate to help the 3,500 Kiwis diagnosed with breast cancer each year in NZ.

My Spare Tyre by Michael Wells

"My Spare Tyre" reflects the dual symbolism embodied by the smaller and larger tyres in the artwork. The smaller tyre resonates with the notion of a compact spare, while the larger one evokes the image of a robust tractor tyre. This juxtaposition subtly alludes to the concept of "spare tyres," not only in the literal sense but also metaphorically, representing the passage of time and the natural changes in one's physical form that often accompany aging. The artwork cleverly captures these associations, inviting contemplation on the multifaceted meanings embedded within everyday objects.
