About The Artwork

This was the first name given to the unfolding Global Financial Crisis. The work examines the role that our key financial institutions had to play in this crisis. Poor mortgages were bundled with some good mortgages. They were triple A rated by the rating agencies and then on sold to small investors not realising the precocious nature of what they had just invested in. The financial institutions bundled up these investments as if it were just another fast moving consumable product, available on the shelf of your local supermarket. The financial institutions selling these financial products then bet against them to fail. How badly was trust compromised and lost?

My work questions popular and prevailing perceptions, conceptions about our own world view and our own New Zealand story; to look under the  rug, to see the shadows, to ingest the popular and unpopular, the familiar and the unfamiliar - to confront the message that we want to just drive by. My work is deeply rooted in Americana - a popular culture wasteland that seeps and leaks its way into New Zealand culture. I extract design elements from the street and put them into the Gallery space, I call this practice, Signtology.
