“Natural Quatrefoilic Bloom” is part of a comprehensive series of shell works manifesting beauty in symmetry, texture and homogeneity. This piece is the first enlarged version of the quatrefoil shape, much to the inspiration of Max Gilbert. Harmonising with the organic, petal-like attributes found in the symbol of a quatrefoil, the meticulous organisation of the shells simultaneously alludes to an evolution and a reincarnation through the rebirth of the ocean’s skeletons – a found beauty, beneath the feet of beach-goer, eroding, crushing and disintegrating into sand. 

Sea-Green Bloom is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the themes of folding, transparencies and densities, the material configuration of the thermoplastic absorbs light creating edges darker than the surface. Resembling colours you might find in the New Zealand landscape, Sea-Green Bloom lends itself to being more spacious and simple ideal for any space in a home.

Lipstick-Silver Mirrored Bloom is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the themes of folding and reflectivity, the mirror effect applied to the thermoplastic manifests a metallic nature. Being quirky and eye-catching, Lipstick-Silver Mirrored Bloom is the perfect sculpture to contemplate and gaze into the abyss of the deep red colour.

Neon-Green Bloom is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the themes of folding and fluorescence, the mirror effect applied to the thermoplastic manifests a metallic nature. Being bold and quirky, Neon-Green Bloom is the perfect sculpture to lighten up a space with greeny, yellow tinges.

Neon-Pink Bloom is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the themes of folding and fluorescence, the mirror effect applied to the thermoplastic manifests a metallic nature. Being bold and quirky, Neon-Pink Bloom is the perfect sculpture to brighten up a space with pink and orange tinges.

Sea-Green Mirrored Blaze is part of a series of blazing and blooming cast acrylic sculptures. Embracing the theme of folding and reflections, the mirror effect applied to the thermoplastic makes it seem metallic. The eye-catching sculpture is coined as a blaze because it composes an asymmetric form of folds resembling a flame’s upward combustion.

“The Grammar Way” is part of a comprehensive series of shell blooms manifesting beauty in symmetry, texture and homogeneity. Expressing the colours that symbolise the school, “The Grammar Way” is a reflection of a cycle, seeing fulfilment, completeness, and connection – many such qualities that the school and the extended community of Auckland Grammar embraces.

“Glass Blaze” is the first of its kind. It is a part of a collection of blooming and blazing thermoplastic sculptures. Reaching the maximal limit of size, “Glass Blaze” depicts a mastery of cast acrylic manipulation through pushing and pulling. This challenging piece exemplifies density through the glass-coloured folds and crevices throughout the form.

Aqua Blaze embraces the themes of folding and curvature. The thermoplastic sculpture is coined as a blaze because it composes an asymmetric form of folds resembling a flame’s upward combustion. This piece is oxymoronic as the turquoise colour, which symbolises coolness attributed through water, is in contrast to it’s fiery name.

The Crescent is part of a comprehensive series of shell blooms manifesting beauty in symmetry, texture and homogeneity. This piece, in particular, experiments with an alternative composition on the round silver-gilded panel. Very carefully organising and filtering the uniquely flat shells into groups of size, colour and shine, The Crescent manifests a mastery of patience, experience and vision.
