Although trained as a
sculptor, I have also been
exploring aspects of
architecture that I feel are
critical to the making of
sculpture. In addition, I have
been investigating the
affinities between
architectural ornament and

virtual scenes and isolated
objects have taken a physical
form as prints, videos or
rapid prototype sculptures (3D
"prints").
Although the digital media I
use is simply a means to an
end - originally used for
public art proposals- the work
has taken me into unforeseen
directions catalyzed by the
lack of public art in NZ.
Several years ago, I began
visualizing impossible,
unlikely, "monuments",
installations and wall
constructions with sinister
overtones. Since the software
also accommodates video, I
have recently been exploring
this digital media as a means
for "entering" the virtual
environment. In addition, I
have taken elements of these
scenes and reproduced them as
physical objects through the
rapid prototyping (RP) method.
As a direct product of
globalization, ...
