It would be too easy to call Adam Cruickshank's new work the ultimate Ikea hack. But it's obvious to us from the press release that he's thinking about all this mass consumerism and generic design on a much deeper level and so should we. Investigating the cargo cults of the pacific - where indigenous tribes would recreate modern technologies using ancient craft techniques, Adam has created something 'ancient' out of materials resolutely modern. Who could say no to a necklace created using those little Ikea pencils? Opens this Thursday at, you guessed it, Craft Victoria.
