Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours

With an interdisciplinary practice traversing sculpture, painting, writing, and installation, I explore the geological and ecological makeup of Aotearoa/New Zealand, timescales, and ideas of reconnection/reciprocity with land. I am continually interested in the balance between melancholy, driven by ecological loss, and humour, hope, or joy.

'Details Of A Haunting' is a collection of works that deal with deep past and shimmering future. Here, time is fluid, and bending.
