In 2010 he was the recipient of the Sapporo Artist in Residence in Japan.

He says of his practice “on first encounter, my practice records small moments in our lives through considered retranslations of objects, balanced with visual beauty and modesty. I want viewers to initially respond with emotion, then with reason, as they begin to connect with the materiality of my work. For me, a successful artwork invariably sets its sights beyond its mere presence in space; it also opens dialogues, discussions and audience negotiation”.

He currently lives and works in Auckland, New Zealand.
