Flotsam & Jetsam Warehouse
Today Flotsam and Jetsam open the roller doors to their new warehouse in Grey Lynn. I’m pretty excited by this, as it’s something I’ve heard them talk about for a while now and like many Aucklanders, I’ve been waiting in anticipation.
An Artist & a Collector
I’m feeling rather honoured to be presenting this today. About a month ago, I was invited into the home of two very special guys here in Auckland; one is the collector, Cameron who happens to run the very popular Flotsam & Jetsam store in Ponsonby (I did a post about that here). The other is Gavin Hurley, a well-known New Zealand modern artist and whose works are represented here.

There’s something about this photo of Cameron standing at the entrance of Flotsom and Jetsam. While editing the photos for this post, I had the urge to turn it to black and white, to somehow pay homage to the history of this shop front, just as Cameron does on his website, using an old photo from the original shop, Steptoe & Son. It then went on to become Lord Ponsonby’s Antiques, and just last month, opened its doors to Flotsam and Jetsam after outgrowing its old premises.
