For my upcoming exhibition at Masterworks in Auckland I've been working on a series of new bird forms to extend on the moa, kotuku and huia pairs. The new shapes are beginning to come together in the workshop, and its exciting to see the dynamic developing between the new and existing works.
There is also new work in the pipeline exploring the complex 19th century figure Walter Buller, whose book A History of the Birds of New Zealand provides an iconic record of many species of native birds. I'll post more on this as the work unfolds.
