I am a Nelson based artist who trained in visual communication, specializing in 3D design. Following my studies i worked as a self-employed mural painter. After living overseas for several years, i returned to New Zealand where i work as a set builder, scenic artist, and designer. i have recently revived my childhood obsession with aeroplanes and model-making. Impressed by the intricate detail and scale accuracy that kit-set models capture, i have photographed my meticulously constructed models to highlight their sculptural nature. Finishing the objects with metallic paint then photographing them in natural light, the resulting images appear like delicate graphite drawings. Basically i like to make things with my hands, it all started with lego, and i have never looked back.
