Eastern tides

Firstly I want to thank everyone who came down and supported my exhibition at Deluxe Cafe
What an amazing first solo exhibition, I'm still awe struck that I sold 11 out of my 15 Sculptures.
The support and enthusiasm towards my work was inspiring, thank you! 
 I'd like to thank all the staff for processing all the sales! 

I have named this new series of drifters the "Eastern Tides", for no matter where I go on this island, eventually the tidal pull of my home on the east coast becomes too strong to resist.
 Gisborne, on the East coast of New Zealand. 

These creations below are the beginning of a new series that I will be exhibiting at home in Gisborne
at my sister and her husband's new Design store / Gallery / Family hub,
appropriately named "The Family Design Store", located on Ormond Rd next to the Ballance St Dairy.

The exhibition will start in approximately in months time, but keep watching my blog for work updates and the confirmed dates.

Thanks!

Earthbound creations

My brother Ash and I working on turning this chunk of earth in to a wolf


The wolf howls and the materials protest as the elements deteriorates the form. Nothing is meant to last forever.. this wolf survived 3 days against the heat of the Gisborne summer sun.

A dormant Mayan lord, forfeited to the earth. The birds have staked their claim.
