Artist Statment  

I am a recent graduate from Massey Univeristy, Completing a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Arts. I had a very experimental 4 years, exploring a variety of mediums, Oil Painting, textiles, sculpture, and projections. Through my exploration I found one constant which was my love of making in kinship with out natural environment. I explored the relationships, the destruction and history we have to the land . This work has been made in an eco-didactic form, wanting to educate and confront our behaviours to encourage change. I have addressed concerns on our carbon output, excessive consumption and the depleting sand dunes across Aotearoa.
