Here is a photographic Master of Fine Arts research project that seeks to make time and light tangible. Created at night-time, the photographs depict Te Rimurapa on the south coast of Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington and highlight significant connections between the cosmos and land. The vertical format black-and-white photographs reflect a nocturnal perception that reveals a parallel world of night that deepens our perspective and sense of time, place and self.

Ngā Pari Tai Rua considers the flow of the tides, which represent the flow of narratives and their migration from place to place and iwi to iwi. This title reflects the two tides that flow within the artist, Shannon Te Rangihaeata Clamp, the tides of Parirua and the tides of Whakatū, representing his iwi and hapū. Ngāti Koata in Whakatū and Ngāti Toa Rangatira in Parirua. Based on tanga tuku iho, pūrākau and whākapapa, Shannon's kaupapa relies on mātauranga-a-iwi and mātauranga-a-hapū (iwi and hapū knowledge systems) to enhance Māori visual concepts and narratives.

Exhibiting at Pātaka Art + Museum

Opening hours Mon–Sat: 10am–5pm, Sun: 10am–4:30pm

Magic is an online collection of eight digital hand drawn animated short films focusing on small, ordinary moments. They are presented through a recreation of an old web Flash within an interactive installation. Made through the repeated production of animated shorts, these films fuse fantasy, nostalgia, and experiences of my everyday life. Navigating towards a raw visual language, these sketchy lines, low frame counts, minimal colour, and soundscape have rekindled a love for my work, myself, and for the process of my transition. 

Exhibiting at Twentysix Gallery
26 Constable Street, Newtown
Opening hours 11am–4pm

Ancestral Sediments recognises entwined lineages to cast light on the inherent bond between the human and the geologic. As we live and move amid the archived ancestry of rock and earth, their minerals, the antecedents of our modern selves, are retained through an archival transmission of ancestral lineage that evolves within each new layer deposited. Deep-time processes draw forth the related natures of rock, lithifying human form in an amalgamation of the immortal and the transitory. The ever shifting endurance of rock-time is a contradiction to human-time and renders the gaps between aeons and instants arbitrary. A redirection of vision awakens sensorial sight, rather than eye-sight, to oppose the materialistic and short-sighted perspective humans readily employ, which allows for deeper layers to become newly perceptible at distance and with time.

Embodied Shadow engages with cameraless and archaic modes of photographic making. It documents experiences of collaboration as my bodily surface folds against light-sensitive emulsion on expired photographic film and paper. Imprinting my touch suggests time’s ephemerality in remembering through the medium of photography. Exposed as lumen prints, left without chemical fixtures, these personal recollections gradually fade. As this fugitive diary is revealed in the light, the impermanent archive will cascade to be only an afterimage.

Exhibiting in T24A, Massey University

Opening hours 11am–4pm

Scope is a 9-minute video work situated within my thesis project W/holes, an investigation of affect and embodiment. Using video and projection, the creative output is a collaboration of lighting, materials and performance which bridge the gap between visual imagery and visceral response. Considering tangible and intangible relationships across the bodily border of inside/outside, the work highlights the slippery, shifting nature of this boundary – the caesura, the ambiguous space in-between.

Exhibiting in T24B, Massey University

Opening hours 11am–4pm

Glocca Morra (How Are Things In) is a multi-part video work based on a journal left behind by my father after his passing in 2017. Incorporating both family and historical photos, AI image creation, and collage, along with bringing my father’s voice to “life” using voice cloning software mixed with mysterious sound beds, this work evokes an interior psychological space where memories are faulty or even wholly invented. At the same time, I am address current anxieties around AI's assault on factual information and truth itself, as well as on human endeavour, by exploring its weaknesses.

Exhibiting in T24C, Massey University

Opening hours 11am–4pm
