Nikau palm II1381 viewsI enjoy looking at the natural environment around me and constantly find myself drawn to the wonderful forms of the New Zealand bush. In this piece I explore the contrasting shapes of the Nikau Palm – the soft curves and sharp angles of the fronds, the rough rings where old fronds have broken away and the smooth trunk, and the tangle of berries.

Great Expectations (II)1168 viewsI was asked to carve a bigger version of this statue to go outside of the new birthing Unit in Hastings. So instead of 60cm tall, this lady stands 1.3m. So she is taller and a bit further along in her pregnancy. I hope the people going in to the hospital enjoy her.

detail "changing face"1160 viewsCulture changes and evolves as it comes in contact with new ideas and other people.
Dad taught me to carve in a Maori style, and every now and then I revisit that.
In this piece I combine the traditional method of carving - with traditional shapes cut out of paua and inserted in the stone in a non-traditional way.
It pays homage to the past, and looks forward to the future – where the shape of things can still pay homage to what has come before, but isn’t afraid to adapt to new ideas.
