Peace Poppy seeks home

 

Tall poppy…

Artist Tony McNeight stands with his work The Giant Peace Poppy, which is made up of approximately 500 discs. Each disc carries a personal message or drawing from members of the public, to honour those who gave their lives in wartime.

The work was part of the Depot’s Anzac exhibition, which ended last Friday. McNeight is hoping to ‘rehouse’ the poppy on the wall of a local business or building.

“It would be so great to see the exhibition up somewhere permanently” he says.
