{"product_id":"bobby-pin","title":"Bobby Pin","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA lady's bobby pin. And arranged upon it, a tiny cluster of pāua shells — each one placed by hand, each one chosen.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is where the shore and the artist meet. The bobby pin was found on the shores of Stewart Island\/Rakiura — a small, personal thing, out of place and full of quiet mystery. The pāua shells came from these same southern waters, each one a miniature world of iridescent colour: blues, greens, purples shifting with the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe arrangement is the artist's own. Patient. Deliberate. A conversation between what the island offered and what the eye saw in it. The hairpin as a stage. The pāua as jewels. The whole composition no bigger than a hand — and yet, somehow, monumental.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is what it means to make art from a place. Not to impose something upon it, but to listen to what it's already saying — and then add just enough of yourself to make it sing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBobby Pin\u003c\/em\u003e is intimate, unexpected, and entirely of this island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFits beautifully on a dressing table wall, in a bedroom, or anywhere that welcomes something quietly extraordinary.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you're bringing home:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuseum-quality, fade-resistant print — every iridescent shell, every detail preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-stretched over solid wood stretcher bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25″ thick poly-cotton blend canvas (344 g\/m²)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting brackets included — ready to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 — 16″×24″ (40.6 × 61 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWant the original?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-signed editions (NZ$360–NZ$900) are available exclusively at our Stewart Island gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTake a little piece of the island home.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsland steady.
