It feels as though it has paused between adventures, resting rather than parked. Freed from its original scale, the toy becomes life-sized in importance. It is no longer something to be pushed across the floor but a character in its own right. And like any good character, it earns a name. She becomes Karman, a playful nod to her lineage, affectionate and personal. Tin and paint are given a pulse.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ac-designer-copy\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"ac-designer-copy\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ac-designer-marked-selection ac-designer-copy\"\u003eUltimately, Karman is about how objects carry memory. It is about the way mid-century design continues to whisper promises of a better, cleaner, more elegant world. It is about toys as time machines, capable of transporting us back without warning. In this world, a small tin car can sit beside a modernist dream house, surrounded by lilies and light, and feel entirely at home. Karman is not just a toy. She is a companion from another time, paused on the edge of a bright new journey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Central Art Gallery Queenstown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42737064247371,"sku":null,"price":34000.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9667\/files\/Karmann_a3d9f094-6221-4218-9fd1-fdf4ab08db7c.jpg?v=1782710116","url":"https:\/\/centralart.co.nz\/products\/ross-jones-karman-original-oil","provider":"Central Art Gallery Queenstown","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
