Blue Oyster Gallery, Dunedin, July 2007

The work of over 215 artists, painting alongside each other for eight months; Life, the Universe and the 420 Centre, brought together people recovering from mental illness and professional and amateur artists from arond Dunedin, New Zealand. The project was facilitated at the 420 Centre in Dunedin. Sections of the project now reside in the Dunedin Public Library and the Dunedin Public Hospital.

"It was a pleasure to contribute to the project - so far away from the endless hype and self - promotion of the so - called official art world where

'style over substance' has been the norm for so long." Jeffrey Harris
