Oct 2007 ARTWORKS FOR SALE

Since the end of my studies in June 2007 I have been working with the new materials which I discovered towards the end of the Stage 3 Course.  These new materials are wood, irrigation tubing, electric and copper wire and acrylic paint.   

 

Although my materials are 3D, I am still working in the medium of painting/drawing.  That is, it is painting/drawing but not quite, and it is sculpture but not quite.  It is the slippage between the two – it is object but it speaks of the space of painting/drawing.   This is my historical response to art.  Then to make it even more interesting, I am responding culturally.  How?  First, I work horizontally – just look at the way indigenous men and women work - on the ground – looking down (away from our normal upright self way of looking/seeing).  When working this way, I am reading and/or sensing with my body – it’s a different approach to a way of ‘seeing’.  Secondly, the skills of binding, wrapping, tying, knotting that can be found in the works of indigenous groups are also evident in my works.   These skills I have transferred into my new materials.

 

Right now, my works can be found at the following two galleries;

  1. o’kaioceanikart Gallery, Shop 16 Langham Hotel Mall, Karangahape Rd, Auckland City. Ph: +64 9 379 9051
  2. Mt Eden Picture Framers Gallery, 453e Mt Eden Rd, Mt Eden, Auckland.  Ph: +64 9 638 8965
