My practice weaves whakapapa, whenua, wool, muka, and sound into sculptural and painterly forms that breathe with ancestral and future presence. Working with whenua gathered from Matakana Island, alongside re-purposed woollen blankets, harakeke fibres, and taonga pūoro, my installations explore how whakapapa can be materially performed across time.

Grounded in tikanga and guided by wānanga with whenua, tīpuna, and the taiao, my work navigates cultural hybridity, land-based sovereignty, and intergenerational memory. Through suspended weavings, protest banners, re-imagined tukutuku works, and instruments of uku, I aim to create passages rather than platforms—spaces where viewers encounter the agency of whenua and the ongoing breath of whakapapa.
