”The work is deeply rooted in Americana – a popular culture wasteland that seeps and leaks its way into New Zealand culture. I extract design elements from the street and put them into the Gallery space, I call this practice, Signtology”

A little Bio
”My work questions popular and prevailing perceptions, conceptions about our own world view and our own New Zealand story; to take a look under the rug, to peel back the curtain, to see the shadows, to ingest the popular and unpopular, the familiar and the unfamiliar – to confront the message that we want to just drive by.
It is deeply rooted in Americana – a vaste, popular cultural wasteland that seeps and leaks its way into New Zealand culture. I extract design elements from the street and put them into the Gallery space… and I call this practice ‘Signtology’.”
Born 1957 Auckland
