Final submission
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…
End of year install
Works in contention of being in the EOY install. There are three ‘branches’ or sections of the works. These works focus on a variety of elements that touch upon ideas of conservation and materials that are of interest. These works relate to colours, forms and regulations of the river walk through colours and materials used.…

Writing Exercises
The writing prompt was”Think of a fairy tale / nursery rhyme from your child hood that you find relates to your practice and discuss your practice through said story.” My story was the three pigs story. In the three little pigs discuss a material investigation into natural and man – made materials. There are also…
End of year install plans
This is an idea which I have been toying with considering the works I have made, this is how ever in no way shape or form the exact install as I hope to be making new works and changing and adding new things to this project. There are some thoughts which have came from research…
September hand in
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. Some objects stand out on purpose while others try to hide themselves, made for a specific area the natural world. Attempts to see how apparatus work in a gallery setting…
Mid year thoughts
Notes from critiques helping to understand how it could work a bit better. After the crit I realised that the larger works were awkwardly too far apart from each other and distracted to a point where it took away from the work, an attention to material and substance was brought up and how to go…
Mid year install
Llenyd Price Long walks / discovery of thoughts. Trees lifeless, slowly fall apart withering away into the ground, preparing the soil for the next season to sprout. Leaves carpet the walk ways bleeding into civility, residents push sidewalks clear, enjoying the cleanliness of dirty grey brick paths. I think the leaves look cute with their…
Projection Project
A development of screen projects and projections, attempting to understand and explore the ideas of multiple view points coming together playing with the idea of time and space in a new direction. This idea to me feels as there may need to be more development and fleshing out to have been included, I still see…
Mid year Install ideas
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…
Practice Statement
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…
WINDOW (SECTIONS)
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…
AP2IL Seminar
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…
Intro week Y2
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…
End.Of.Year
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…
Cementing my ideas
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
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…
This Situation
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…
September Set up Critique
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…
Fake landscape
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…
Contemplations
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…
Planning ahead
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…
July Seminar summary
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…
July Seminar
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. I was glad to be in a more serious and professional environment as it allowed for testing and failures. Tracks How we track and navigate through…
Passages.
Passages is an work which I made for a company’s, within Auckland city, project which I was a part of, reimagining how a company would reuse corflute signs, in the I made a painting depicting an array of areas around auckland which are popular gathering spaces for city dwellers. In this brief I was encouraged…
Double touch shows
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…
Digital Terrain Formats
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…
April Semin-argh
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…
That’s pretty sketchy
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…
