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.
