I have actively exhibited my work over a 25 year period, both nationally and internationally, at major art events such as the Esslingen Photo Triennale, 1989, the Sydney Biennale, 1990, and the Sharjah Biennale in 1999, and in significant exhibitions such as Photography Now, 1989 at the Victoria and Albert Museum (to commemorate the first 150 years of Photography). My most major project to date has been The Virtues, 1996, a traveling exhibition that went to eight public venues in New Zealand, and its accompanying book Under The Aegis: The Virtues, 1997. This series was awarded a major prize in 1999 by an international jury at the Sharjah Biennale.

I have been granted Arts Council sponsorship for several projects and events, including a major travel award in 1985 to travel to the USA and Europe to attend photography events and exhibitions, travel to Houston, USA in 1988 to deliver a lecture on New Zealand Photography at the Houston Photo Fest, as well as assistance for the publication of Under the Aegis in 1997. In 1992 I received a Möet and Chandon residency in France. I have lectured at the Elam School of Fine Arts, The University of Auckland, since the mid 1980’s and been head of Photography for around 10 of those years. |
