Tauranga artist, Marijon Spee's two installations visually surprise with her imaginative use of materials. The installations use the plastic and the playful as a medium for the serious and the real.

Candy Land deals with the duplicitous nature of drugs and the insidious infiltration of consumerism.

In Candy Land, Spee has created a ‘city’ of buildings made from plastic pillboxes, and filled with colourful drugs (sweeties in disguise).

The drug look-alikes allude to modern day drug dependency, both legal and illegal.

Spee's concern is with the cycle of the daily grind of working to nurture our addictions.

The city, a place of work, play and crime, is integral to this treadmill.
