Ashley Bird: The Nostalgic Toybox

Drawing on the sentiment of the ‘toy box’ Launceston artist Ashley Bird creates objects cast from his collection of small toys, as a way of revealing the relationship between memory and objects, and their capacity to become objects of nostalgia and meaning over time.
