I feel a bit silly 2024
Oil on board with imitation gold leaf. Painted for the Adam Portraiture award I was reflecting how menacing a fun snapshot became once painted. The imitation gold leaf will tarnish over time on purpose. Undertones of religious imagery meets genocide

Document atrocities. Share moments of hope. Make sure future generations know how we fell into fascism.

5x7m patchwork wool blanket, buttons, weedmat.
Part of a series about conflict this blanket is the size of the mass grave my ancestors were piled into beside the individual graves of their attackers who were stitched into blankets. This is to keep their resistance warm.

Great summation! "Resistance needs visual iconography"
Exactly what I needed to read while preparing for an exhibition "The Art of Protest"

I hope the mural artists of our major cities are readying their spraypaint cans. I hope that this image is on t shirts, posters, and dust jackets of the histories that are written about this period.
Resistance needs visual iconography, and Green just served us a powerful image.

Wheoro 2024
Carved handle (totara with paua inset) with hand painted and fired clay. Carved after a man who made questionable choices.
"I don't think the world is fair. Maybe, at best, it is indifferent. So I think I will be fair instead" from a convo with friends at the state of the world.

Male Gaze 2023
Just thinking back to a time I enjoyed making art that was about the beauty and diversity of male emotions and paternal affections.
Fast forward to the present where we need more emotional resilience and control in the men at the top.
