PERSONAL STATEMENT

My inspiration lies within culture and culture lies at my doorstep. Through materials, process, function and form I endeavour to express my Pacific homeland, Aotearoa, New Zealand. Merging elements and ideas of old and new, traditional and modern, together with the application of machine and craft, I aim to create objects of originality, beauty and endurance for generations to come.
