"There’s only one art matriarch we’d invite for a Weekly Objects round two. The inimitable Judy Darragh is back with a limited release of what we all need right now – jewellery for the soul, that’s soaking in glitzy attitude. 

Try as hard as you like to resist the power of Judy Darragh, but be in quick. Artist, educator, activist, material manipulator extraordinaire. From one work to another her use of blinging colour and out-of-this-world op-shop assemblage never fails to awe. Darragh is an artist that declares making as a creative act available to us all." – Kim Paton

We’ve commissioned five unparalleled makers to create their own unique series of Objectspace limited editions for Weekly Objects 2025. All proceeds go to the artist and Objectspace. Win. Win.

Shipping is calculated at checkout, or pick-up for free from Objectspace, 13 Rose Road, Ponsonby. 

Artist Bio

Judy Darragh ONZM is an artist renowned for sculptural assemblages, collage, video, photography, and poster art. During 1980s, Darragh’s trademark, eclectic iconoclasm modelled a critical position in response to rampant materialism and free-market reforms. In 2004 Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand mounted the survey and catalogue Judy Darragh: So... you made it? Darragh lives in Tāmaki Makaurau and was central to the development of ARTSPACE, artist-run spaces in Auckland Teststrip, and Cuckoo. She has been an educator, has mentored many artists, and is a tireless advocate for artists. Darragh continues to exhibit throughout Aotearoa and works are held in major public collections. She is represented by Two Rooms, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and Jonathan Smart Gallery, Ōtautahi Christchurch.
