I am still feeling the way within the plurality of my Welsh-Pākehā identity and the mesh of art/life, and I have always been drawn to objects that connect me to the world.

My contemporary art practice is relational and situated. I respond to complexities of identity through social interaction and performative object prompts within an instructional and indexical framework. I draw from the social sciences, visual and material culture, and anthropology, which provides a container for a reflexive, transdisciplinary practice.

 

I hold a Certificate in Visual Arts and Graduate Diploma Fine Arts with Distinction from Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts, Massey University Wellington. I am now in the thesis year of the Master of Fine Arts.
