Lynn Freeman interviewed Martin for Standing Room Only.

Artist’s studios are fascinating places… in nooks and crannies there are often unfinished pieces hidden away from visitors and from the artists themselves. Martin Poppelwell has dusted off much of his unfinished work from the last decade for an exhibition he’s calling A Storage Problem. The ceramicist and painter has worked with an architect to create a custom-built stockroom in Auckland’s Objectspace where he’s displaying work from his Hawkes Bay studio.
