I have been doing a lot of thinking, and coming back to this idea of the ‘artificial landscape’. I had been stuck on the artificial in relation to the virtual version, recreating a landscape digitally, this is one strand of an artificial but then had gotten interested in Magritte’s The Treachery of Images (1929) famous for its representation […]
My thoughts are not to be taken too serious, ideas which I ponder on the daily, where do I fit into this whole narrative, do I need to fit in anywhere. I am an immigrant of lost immigrant parents, ancestors who’s journey cross over many continents. I am not from Aotearoa, I am not from […]
From what was said and what I am thinking of testing further I have made some plans which I want to test out and tease out, wanting to see them work in a space, I didn’t feel like they would have worked best for last hand in as it may have been too much. I […]
This post will look at notes and ideas which were brought up during the July seminar week. There were many things which I believe could have been changed to be better and make the exhibition install read better and become more specific and interesting to an audience. I’ll start with notes thanks to Alan: -Is […]
Installed in the new building created an environment to test and view the work in a new space, feedback physically giving back new ideas compared to the digital feedback.

In this brief I was encouraged […]

These works explored the use of an architecture program that is typically used to make building models. My models looked at trying to replicate sections of the Waikato river adding textures to represent water and grass, the repeating patterns heightened the artificial and expanded on the idea that it was a recreation and replica in […]
Sections Due to effects from the Anthropocene native plant ecosystems are pressured by an ongoing expansion of human infrastructure. 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 […]
These sketches are quick studies I did in a location which I am considering to bring into my studio. The location is an untouched part of land which sits outside a new developing part of Kirikiriroa (Hamilton), these spaces are under pressure of housing development, once void of modern civilisation it now sits along building […]
