We're BACK ......

Malo peeps, or for you not too savvy , how's it going?/how are you?/s'up? in kiwi samoan ...

I be doin the doin lately, so hence, little traffic on this site since 2006

I've been doin some cool tapestries with, amongst others, George Nuku so theres some more work since Style Pasifika stuff, we have cemented some good works which have resulted in us carrying further the relationship created in the cooperation of Maori Multi-disciplinary artist Daryll Thomson a.k.a DLT and myself, a first generation aotearoa samoan.

below you would have seen some of our earlier work of woven audio visual strands creating tapestries of light and sound which can have elements of "the live" ...

I will shortly post the polystyrene carving work that came from earlier cooperations with Daryll and George. Which also leads to where we went next...

We have recently as a group - which George entitled "Te Pito" - been to Brisbane to participate at the Dreaming festival 2008 at Woodford. Where we had talented artist Tu Duley join us, and we managed to complete another milestone and anchor point on this rather interesting journey. I'll edit this down and add it to the lot we've already shot and partially cut.

You can check out what we did at the international event by going to the Dreaming Festival website if you're interested further...

One of Tu's mates shot it on amcam and posted it to You Tube, you can see us doing the "haka" up against the traditional owners of the lands' mob.

Whilst we were there we managed to fit in panel talks and discussions, shot and showed projected video work, run workshops and produce large polystyrene pieces for the closing ceremony with an item thrown in for good stead ...

Thanks for checking out this site ... and sorry for prattling on but to get the best of the different two minute videos on this site you need to have a grunty broadband connection plus awesome speakers to get the full impact of the cool DLT music and the images ... enjoy

But wait theres moRe ....

what an auspicious date ...

soifua maloloina ...
