Due to Covid-19 I was not able to be in the shows which I had planned, in this I, along with many others had to rely on virtual exhibitions and social media ‘take overs’ which meant taking over and posting your own work and research online The first ‘take over’ I was part of was […]

In my work I am exploring how landscapes previously occupied by Māori contrast with post-colonial effects of land ownership. Installed in this manner my work references housing in the form of wooden paneling, this is conveyed through the […]
