These artworks are a representation of my connection to the land, reflecting where I live and my visual interpretations of it. Each piece carries a story that resonates with me, capturing moments spent there and memories shared with family, friends, and cherished experiences.

I am often inspired by my coastal surroundings. In this collection I have observed aspects of native plants near me to create sculptural works evocative of ‘New Zealand’. In particular the distinct silhouettes of korari and toe toe flowers, tī kōuka and pōhutakawa leaves and the plump seed pod of the harekeke. It is with deep reverence that I represent these native species as devotional objects.

Often inhabited by our beloved cheeky and highly social piwawakawa, who I like to think of...
