- In IaNZart, Ian Phillips (no relation to Alice) is shaping sheet copper. Ian is a true craftsman, making sculpture by bending, beating and burning copper. He uses controlled heat patina that brings out rainbow colours in the metal by heating and cooling it to different temperatures. There are 15,000 pieces of his art at large in the world ranging in price from $5000 to $85, "something for everyone".
Ian spent his childhood holidays on this coast and always loved it. He moved here 10 years ago, bought the BNZ Bank, opened the gallery-workshop on the ground floor and lives upstairs in the bank manager's house and, he says, "though the bank was built in 1905 it feels as if it was specifically built for us". Ian, too, found love in Hokitika. He met his wife Janne not long after he moved here.
