Digital collage in a natural wood veneered frame with conservation glass
140mm (H) x 210mm (W)
Picture Frames Places is a series of work printed on fine art paper using archival pigments.
The frames have been CNC machined from a composite base and hand veneered in natural wood by Rick and include 99% UV filtered conservation glass to protect them. Ready to hang.
I am a New Zealand born cinematographer and established contemporary marquetry artist working from a studio in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
My cinematic experience with interpretation, organisation, composition, texture and lighting informs my artistic approach and interests which are focused on hand-cut contemporary marquetry and collage using wood veneer combined with a range of other materials.
The detailing of my artwork and methodology is also inspired by traditional timber boats. I sail a classic yacht around New Zealand’s coastal areas. Referencing for my work arises from the nautical environments I encounter during this time as well as the exacting construction and operation of my mid-century Danish-designed yacht.
