Regulating the land How landscape is navigated and tracked has changed as a consequence of colonisation.Land gets broken up for new housing, earth is up turned and shifted around changing the landscape over the years. Barriers slice through the land, pavements snake alongside these rails, painted in a dark green to blend the metal into […]
Museum NCAA National Contemporary Art Award consists of an array of artist in the visual arts.The work in this show, although obviously disconnected for the competition, consisted of ideas and materials which interested me, a fair few of the works caught my eye. The works of interest had focuses on looking and observing but also […]
Over the years I have become interested in apparatus and colour connected to DOC and city councils’ regulations which are imposed on the land. I have emailed and researched these apparatus, being drawn to how they can encapsulate a vast entity simply through a set variety of colours, textures and fonts. What drew me to […]
Apparatus and regulation I test colours of brightness meant to stand out in front of dulled natural backgrounds. I contrast the blending of other colours.

Within […]
Lately I have been trying to make lists about my work to describe and understand the key ideas of my practice. Through simplifying what my ideas are I can start to think through these ideas and describe them to the main core themes to situate my work. Often work shifts and ideas become relevant and […]
Inserted images of people, there is a surreal aspect to ‘development’ plans, the attempts to recreate something that is living and alive is a small idea which I have enjoyed playing with and attempting to add myself into paintings, these figures feel present but also very distant to the landscape, some figures are see through […]
Over time I have looked at a few galleries, art installations or events around Tāmaki Makarau. I have be come aware or interested in the installation of work, how it is shown and displayed to communicate ideas.
