A recent fine art bachelor graduate from Whitecliffe College of Art and Design, I have been a practising artist for over ten years.
My conceptual practices have evolved over time until now to investigate ideas relating to society, and the individual imprints and stories of a person, which at times may be deemed as the mundane chore of living. I have a great passion for exploring the lines and expressions of a face, and the enriched stories of a persons journey, which can be often found in the most ordinary experiences.
Playfully exploring these sometimes sad, humourous and telling moments, my work is often an ambiguous and theatrical display of painting, sculpture, installation and photography which is the end result of a relational journey in my life, outside of the gallery. Concentrating on a labour intensive workforce, alongside political, and social issues found in the various communities in New Zealand, I explore labour, work, and public sites during my investigation.
Formally I have a strong relationship with bold rich colours, not being afraid however to minimize this extravagance in order to enhance a beautifully crafted artwork. My work is often either extremely industrial, or gracefully delicate, as I enjoy the extreme nature of these two juxtaposing formalisms.
