Personal Interests:
Photography, Film, Music, Visual Design, Architecture, Structure
Majored in photography at art school, with a strong focus on composition and shape. Together with my fascination of sculpture and mixed media, and the inspiration I get from the scale and form of architecture, I have produced a number of Installation works.
Film is my other passion in life. I enjoy all types of movies but have become particularly interested in the use of shape, colour, light, composition and music to create and affect the overall visual experience.
Skills:
Proficient in the use of power tools and building materials.
Full Drivers License and thorough knowledge of Wellington, Auckland, Southland and surrounding regions.
