Artist Designer Consultant

 

I specialise in idea creation procuring beyond the finished product. I enjoy working for iwi within design teams in the creation of public art integration within large scale construction. My experience is varied from curation, exhibition design and development, presentations, demonstrations, and excel in design consultancy within cultural developments.

I appreciate working with a myriad of materials, finding it easy to transpose ideas via hand sketches, computer platforms, various substrates, steel, or natural fibres.

My enthusiasm for working in the art form of tā moko has spanned over 20years. I work with handmade Uhi chisels fashioned from Albatross bone utilising traditional techniques with contemporary materials and H&S processes.

Artist Designer Fabricator

 

I am an experienced artist, designer and fabricator with a deep knowledge in construction and engineering with is utilised within the wide scope of works completed within major public art projects, shared pathway walkways, bridges and passenger rail access points.

I prefer to work with my hands created art work mainly from metal, stone and wood. I make large sculptures and unique jewellery. This compliments my art and design consultancy work.

I enjoy working in my studio in Waitomo as the landscape above and below the ground inspires ideas.
