This is now such an icon of Papatowai that it could arguably be labelled the centre of the town. Blair Somerville has created this universe by tinkering with the productive output of his imagination and skill and now presides over one of the Catlins’ unmissable attractions. Bits and pieces that people throw away are reconfigured into a plethora of new forms with switches, buttons and knobs, which bring them to life in surprising and delightful ways. Somerville’s gallery and workshop is open from Labour to Anzac weekends and, conveniently located on the main road, shouldn’t be missed. Papatowai Highway.
