Colonial Conversation - Kawakawa 104

The 'Conversation' work is a culmination of the things I love. Wood just for and of itself … and nature expressed through shapes and shadow.

In these works I am exploring some of my past works and am re-introducing them as a conversation .. They are a play with reality .. manipulating and highlighting certain aspects.

Are they a conversation between man and nature … man and machine … two aspects of nature? Or all .. ?

In a conversation where does one start and the other finish .. ?

What of one’s background does one bring to one’s conversations .. ?

How much of our conversations have hidden meanings .. not spoken and not shown .. ?

What we take away from a conversation is centered very much around what we took into the conversation ..

Within ‘Conversations’ there are several series … the Lotus series and the Kawakawa series.
