Changeover
Digital print
In January 2026 Nand retired and Ravindra took over the business. Often the transfer of a going concern goes unmarked by the business, but the customers notice. So I felt it was important to mark the moment and acknowledge how central to the community a dairy is. This is the kind of notice a community noticeboard is built to hold. The flowers I chose to draw bridge Fiji, India and Aotearoa.
The five projects Melissa has created for Nikau Superette all explore what community notices are.
