Junk & Disorderly

Anyone who’s ever set foot in my house knows that I have a penchant for vintage, curiosities, macabre artworks, religious iconography and knick knacks. This addiction to kitsch homewares was inherited from my mother, who is an avid collector of pretty much everything and anything she deems to be beautiful.

Keiran D Sipes is hands down one of my favourite local artists; he also happens to be my preferred and favourite personal tattooer and over the years has become a dear friend. His artwork litters the walls of my home, dotted amongst prints from other talented NZ artists, Viennese based babe Sam Rulz, Alex Heart, original artworks gifted to me personally by the immensely talented Joshua Wetere Paki and the Melbourne based Rachie T & Godfrey Atlantis to name a few.

I’ve collected many things over the years, including religious statues from Sydney & Melbourne respectively,ceramic busts, clocks, candles, decorative plates and vinyl; this makes Junk & Disorderly on Auckland’s North Shore somewhat of a haven.
