Ground work is a sculptural show at St Peters including a variety of sculptural displays. Seeing the works which have often been observed in a gallery setting allowed new perspectives, some works sat between buildings playing off the grass green and the walls, often metallic works could show the surroundings reflecting outwards. Whilst wondering and navigating […]
In the world of art there seems to be an obsession over how long something lasts, preserving items, artefacts and paintings. This obsession is of interest to me. Preserving the longevity of well-known art works in relation to how long my work or the work of others would last for. Museums and art galleries almost […]
Re-imaginations of an EOY installation. This install looked out the progression and alterations of my End of Year 2020 show, I wanted to install similar objects but in another iteration that could speak to the concrete works as more individual and object oriented compared to a more ‘canvas’ like composition. My hope was to explore […]
Sectioned off In my work I have been investigating the recent infrastructures that border various ecosystems local to me, harboring life found nowhere else in the world.

Questions of key for going on, the next phase of works. What will I question? What is key? And how will I unlock the answers? These questions pose whether I approach them in one way or another, a moral back ground to a practice which may be considered rooted heavily in a history filled with […]
A material which I had recently used was concrete panels, these panels were interesting and opened my eyes to new possibilities, the material was one which is so familiar to construction, it is a material which is found everywhere. Choosing what type of mix I wanted to use. Purchased from Bunnings. Frames have been made […]

The curators are a couple from Belgium, showing in many ways a collaboration of artists could run as a gallery, operating with one artist or a group show was to show at a gallery […]
DEMO In the show ‘This Situation’ included 2 previous works of mine, track markers and the painting titled A narrow of the Waikato river. Seeing how the work interacted with the space was an interesting thing to investigate, especially seeing the track markers appearing through the gaps of people’s head at the opening night as […]
