In my moving image and photography work I aim to generate metaphoric valency, which in turn can ignite the potential to affect, disrupt and transform.

As an independent filmmaker I have shied away from dominant paradigms that have seeded around our current film funding structures in Aotearoa New Zealand. As another practitioner has noted: “New Zealand cinema has long been based around commercial models above cultural ones… and frequently disengaged from the wider reaches of possible cinema".

My work involves exploring some of those possibilities.
