maybe it’s just a culture thing, i have no doubt many ppl in my birth country, with or without farming background, would kill the “artist” for stuff like this.

what if the guy putting out more bullshit sculptures of his wife, children or parents, or other politicians, atheletes, or random joe.

i was amazed you can take it with a light mood. or am i too PC.

The TV media haven’t reported on this yet. I bet they’re checking to see if it’s another stunt pulled by a media school student.

Slightly right of centre????
Really
Has to be a fake. Smith isn’t slightly right of centre unless the centre is mired in the middle of the left somewhere.

A great work of art, made all the more lifelike by being made of exactly the same material as the real Nick Smith…

Quite the likeness.

Looks like one of those bronze busts that hail from antiquity. like the artists of old he has done a cosmetic on the eyes.

Nick Smith as New Zealand’s Augustus of Prima Porta.
