Thank you for these images of my work up at the Tai Timu Tai Pari exhibition this month. I felt privileged to exhibit with such a talented raft of creatives and to share this very personal body of work with my local community.

Introducing …. This was his first time in front of the lens. You wouldn’t know it though, he was an absolute natural and delight to photograph.
Originally from Carlsbad, California, Keaton has agreed to be photographed as part of this photographic essay of immigrants to the Tauranga region.

As always, thank you for the use of the studio 😘

A two year journey, one that doesn’t actually have a start and end date. But for a masters project there is an end date. I am done. Whew! This was an immensely personal journey, and I grew so much by engaging in this way with my local maunga.
This research project is an ongoing photographic representation of my deepening relationship with whenua as a first-generation immigrant. Identifying as tauiwi, or non-Indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand, I acknowledge the decolonising process that must occur in my mindset to adapt to my adopted homeland. Using the lens as a witnessing device, I examine relationships between myself and the maunga, Mauao, near where I live in Te Moana-a-Toi (the Bay of Plenty). This friendship, of sorts, between myself and Mauao has lent a familiarity and given me immense comfort. Mauao was a stable, omnipresent hoa as I settled and raised a family in Aotearoa New Zealand. I search for and photographically capture the events I recognise as changes on the maunga. These changes either result from colonial interference and long-term damage or are brought about through acts of reparation. Through photographic reportage and written letters, I document the changing relationship I have with the country I have adopted as an immigrant. This project aims to honour Mauao for its friendship over the years by witnessing the process of repairing specific sites on the maunga. The letters and the photographic images represent significant beginnings towards taking care of and valuing the whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand. I privilege the value of healing the past while looking to care for the future and honour the relationship which has grown between me and the maunga; me and my adopted homeland.
