Nose to Tail, Hit the Wall!, March 2009
Hit the Wall! was a competition for young graphic designers to create an image for a wall in the NewDowseGallery, Lower Hutt in March 2009.
The winning design was Nose to Tail, by Elise O'Neill. The image depicts an endless vista of vehicles parked vertically nose to tail. In a world where dependence on vehicles is almost absolute, this futuristic projection expresses the incomprable quanties on vehicles on the planet, and asks where will they all go?

Elise O'NeillHello, I am a Ceramic artist working from my home studio in Dunedin. I studied at Otago Polytechnic School of Art and graduated in 2006 with a BFA sculputure major. Since finishing my degree my practice has followed two main paths. In one direction I have been making ceramic sculpture which explores consumerism and culture, i am especially interested in food and our love/hate, need/want relationship with it.
The other direction is a collaborative project with designer Karen Taylor O'Neill. Together we have designed and are producing (in my home studio) an artisan range of domestic ware.
The more i learn about Ceramics the more i realize there is to know. Its a complex, exciting and surprising medium and i am seduced by its versatility, functionality and beauty.
