The Dissolution Waiapu, my debut work at Christies as part of the Augmented Intelligence auction, currently open for bidding from Nov 20 - March 5th.

Inspired by nature, the work is built at the pinnacle of two poles, the AI programming supported computational digital and the entirely hand-tooled steel sculpture. Both in process and result, showcasing the contrast and interplay between man and machine, creativity and process, erosion and innovation, the aesthetical and the visceral.

Thank you to Christie’s for the opportunity, to be part of a historic auction and the opportunity to show this other side to my practice. To Ryan Taylor for unraveling the medium of steel for me, enabling me to learn and help bring my ideas to life through immense commitment, insight, and exploratory enthusiasm. To Ivan for being there throughout the construction to capture the moments of delicacy and intensity, while also developing systems to enhance the works quality and reliability.

Lastly, to you, thank you for supporting the work, the target, and the focal point of my art. 🖤🌊
