I was born in Auckland, New Zealand but quickly left to explore the world. I didn’t get to study art at school, instead was told to learn mathematics, computer science and philosophy, which I did for many years until I found painting and technology. A constant theme throughout my life is art encounters - with a strange combination of this 'painting and technology'. I now 'paint' with acrylic, oil, enamel as well as Swift, Python, Xcode, After Effects, nodes, generative algorithms and now even Twitch. Each painting is a combination of canvas and code - using the same mathematical rhythms and structure. So far so good with this, 2019 was a big year with participation in exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou in Paris as well as locally here at the nation art gallery (AGNSW). 2020 is interesting...it started well with work as part of the Biennale of Sydney but then everything closed. I think this could be THE time for interactive artists and am busy in studio demonstrating what I mean :-)
