Very, very excited to start work on a new show that will see the return of this mahi, Tā, Tau, and an immersive experience of Kā Tiritiri o Te Moana. Big winds, big mountains, big feelings.

Failing is good. Here is a big painting that didn't work and met it's fate with an orbital sander.

Note from The Artist:

My friend Liv was fucking awesome. They were a fierce friend and cheerleader. They were clever and kind and made really cool things and had really cool ideas. They loved walking and the land they lived on. They loved the manu and the ngahere. They were beautiful and I miss them heaps.

I made this show thinking about them a lot, trying to cement my memories of them in my mind before they slip off into wherever memories slip off to.

Fuck cancer, hug the people you love, help each other out.

Recycle your soft plastics (it’s easy enough, google it) and if you want donate some pūtea $$ or time to an environmental project near you.

Kā mihi me te aroha nui,

Hahaha this work from Octavia Cook's show @objectspace in 2023 still cracks me up. A few of us were invited to make speculative jewellery storage solutions...
