| White ceramic 'Brian Wood' jug with nectarines Acrylic on Canvas 30 x 40 cm |
The white jug in this painting was made by Brian Wood who was a ceramic expert and curator even before he was an art school student. I bought it at a final-year student sale.
It has an unusual and graceful form and although it is not completely waterproof I have kept it and admired it ever since. It is an art object but I use it as an utilitarian object - I keep my paintbrushes in it. (Eat your heart out, Peter Voulkos.)

I met up with Brian at last year's Portage - he's had an interesting career too since art school - Wallace, then an auction house specialising in ceramics and now curatorial at the Dowse.
We were privileged to see his flat and collection before he left Dunedin.
