Sketch-up floor plans, ideas and lay outs of how I would like the show to be set up. A projection, a couple of material / abstract paintings and a large or longer painting. Statement: Long walks / discovery of thoughts. Trees lifeless, slowly fall apart withering away into the ground, preparing the soil for the […]
My work is concerned with the ongoing pressures that urban development has on native ecosystems. The ever creeping housing developments bleed into the land scape; boundaries change and push native forests back, and roads lay new paths like rivers through tall trees. An outsider of this land(what do you mean by being an outsider of the […]
Native forest which resides along the outskirts of developing rural suburbs will possibly be destroyed for further housing development. The land here is flourishing with native flora and fauna and although these spaces appear untouched, faint sounds of cars and trucks going by can be heard along with the occasional sounds of construction as new […]
A series of questioning and uncertainty: Conflicts of the mind in over thinking and second guessing Paths weave through trees, people’s bodies disappear behind bends, rivers snake through the land. The calm waters rush by, chaos is present if closely observed. The over thinker. chapter 1) How does anyone place them self into a fragile […]
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. Our landscape is getting more difficult to recognise as ‘Aotearoa’. Plants which are introduced creep into the natural ecosystem; human scraps are left lying around. Forest floors are littered with twigs […]
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 Nomadic Art Gallery is a collaborative project going around Aotearoa with an array of artists from all over the country. 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 […]
Side by side these images almost feel disturbing and difficult to look at, the colonial history all seems to lay on the other side of the paintings, objectified almost from a point of otherness. I am always scared that my paintings may be seen or read as removing indigenous Māori people, but my intension is […]
