  • Take a peek into Blair's bizarre and beautiful world. In a remote corner of New Zealand's South Island, tucked away among the last remaining tracts of native forest, lies a little-known place of wonder. It is the life's work and extraordinary creation of inventor, artist and self-confessed tinkerer, Blair Somerville.
    For over ten years Blair has single-handedly owned, operated and ceaselessly expanded the Lost Gypsy Gallery, his wonderland of homegrown wizardry and a playground for kids and adults alike. Using only recycled materials, Blair takes DIY to artistic extremes. His creations are ingenious, interactive, and often hilariously impractical. They take many shapes and forms and share an uncanny ability to amaze, entertain and inspire.
    A film experiment by Joey Bania, made with funding from the BBC Worldwide Young Producers' grant. www.joeybania.com/
    Music provided by The Books - thebooksmusic.com/
    Clothing provided by Cactus Equipment - cactusequipment.co.nz/
    ___________
    If you'd like to visit Blair, please note that he is open summers only, November - April, 10am to 5pm. Closed Wednesdays

    Touring NZ, I was driving along on my way to Invercargill when I spotted his bus and stuff beside the road. I got out and had a look round. He is very friendly and we talked about his inventions. Amazing man.

    Fantastic! This man has a lot of talent! In the beginning when he was playing the xylophone I thought he was one of his own automatons! I was thinking, "That one playing the xylophone sure looks and moves realistically!! But he's definitely an automaton.......I think!" Boy was I surprised to see that he was real!

    A stop-motion masterpiece! Folks often do not realize that thirty seconds of finished video takes thirty minutes to line up and shoot.

    I enjoyed your video loved your workshop and it's location, you made the right choices to do what you do.
    You could be my inspiration to begin making stuff for fun. I just put up a new garden shed and fitted it out. I'd love to start making some automata, your rustic style is great. Your doing what I always wanted to do.. Oh and great to find a Nutty eccentric Englishman so far from Blighty.
