A studio and gallery on Aka Aka Road, near Pukekohe, that makes one-of-a-kind steampunk sculptures, paintings and collectables from repurposed materials. The business is named Altered State Studio and Gallery, and its founding idea is that everything has a story, so the job is to give each old object a second chapter. The work is handcrafted, so each piece is different.
It is in Puni, near Pukekohe, in the Franklin district south of Auckland. The website sets out the maker's own path from childhood curiosity to craftsmanship, and the gallery sells its sculptures, paintings and collectables on site.
