Bio
Originally from Daylesford, Australia, Dando moved his family to Nelson nearly a decade ago. His unlikely first career as a professional rugby player soon made way for his love of art and his current profession of teaching. He loves scrounging through scrapyards to source material – its origins inspiring the story and his creations. Fabricated metal sculpture, industrial collage, multi-media assemblage and paper craft and forming are his passions.
