Artist Statement:
My art blossomed in a
confusion of cultural identity
from my my mixed cultural
background of New Zealand
/Samoaness.
My work celebrates the
afakasi, the halfcast, that
confusion of not fitting into
either side, so inventing your
own culture in art.
I see my art as being visual
symphonies of a futuristic
Polynesia,
the combination of human and
machine in a primitive
enviroment.
Everything I see, feel,and
hear, has an impact on my
compositions, especially
architecture and music.
I use elongated figures to
create an energy of movement,
strength, and sound. I want
the audience to hear the
images as well as see them.
The lines that I carve, are
for the dynamic of my work,
these come
from the veins of banana
leaves and the strappings in
polynesian fale's
(houses).
The shimmer in this dynamic,
trap's
light in a way to form (to me)
:
an etherial frequency.
This frequency is me.
P.S
I will be posting a new link
on here
soon which will feature my
latest woodblock prints.
