Doctoral Candidate

Ngāi Tahu, Waikato, Ngāti Maniapoto.
 
I am currently a PhD candidate at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), where I also completed my Master of Visual Arts. I am an artist whose practice spans moving image, song and sound-making, installation, and photography. My work explores narratives of connection, whakapapa, and the environment, and I create spaces, both physical and conceptual, that celebrate Indigenous ways of knowing. In 2023, I was a recipient of the Te Tumu Toi Arts Foundation Springboard award, and my work has been included in major exhibitions such as Whāia te Taniwha at Christchurch Art Gallery.
