We’re celebrating Matariki this weekend in Aotearoa- the Māori new year.
Here is a 30-minute astronomical loop I animated for Blue Oyster Gallery’s Matariki Festival in 2012.
Put it on while you vacuum. #HappyMatariki #videoart #nz #matariki

Brume, 2025.
Acrylic on plywood.
1200mm x 1082mm

Brume got me through many winter nights. Brume is the atmosphere just before clarity. The quiet tension in things left unresolved.

Today I’m putting the finishing touches on a special project for Dougie, who is 2. My first commission in a while- and in oil paint for some reason. Mmm turps fumes. #oilpainting #commission

Made a rookie mistake today. I was trying out a new glaze. I overworked it. It went cloudy. I immediately got a cloth a wiped it all off. And it took a layer of paint with it - that had taken days to do. Lesson learnt!

New blog post for May 2025: High-Def Explosions & Low-key Breakdowns…

… where I dart haphazardly between the military-entertainment complex, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and facing criticisms as a visual artist.

Aw I finished The Leftovers. What’s a good drama I can watch/glance at occasionally next? The weirder the better.

Yes I have a fume hood- I’m wearing it right now.

jk- I’ve been varnishing some smaller works today while the sun’s out.

What do you think? Should I frame them or leave them with their raw edges?
