Peter Lange's work with bricks

Since the 1970s ceramicist Peter Lange has pushed the boat out with his art form - literally in the case of a two tonne boat that famously floated on Auckland harbour 20 years ago. But these days he's working using individual bricks as canvasses.

The images reflect his trademark sense of fun and irony. He's also experimenting with selfies - in fact painting itself is a new adventure for the pioneering ceramicist.
