Edward Mackenzie is a passionate artist inspired by objet trouvé – old and new manufactured objects which he uses to create assemblage art. The work has a stong design element that give reference to ideas to history,
humour, or allegory. His choice of material directs his work into various series of artwork; in this exhibition you will see art inspired by American 1950's (Dee's) Ice cream packaging and Old piano's.
