PNTR

I currently reside in Wellington, where I work as a visual artist as part of ‘I WEAR THEM’ studios; after completing a BFA at Otago School of Art in 2008.

Several areas of my current practice step outside of conventional means of galleries and into quintessential public space which forms a dialogue outside co modified media. The street being an area for public communication and response without permanence.

I use printmaking and painting as a way of bringing art to the people, printmaking being a perfect medium for this because you can create multiples of an image and install them in different contexts and the whole work changes.

My current working practice somehow mediates between conceptual ideas and a more intuitive aesthetic experimentation where I’m interested in objects which don’t feel important and aren’t valued, from cardboard boxes to concrete sinter blocks. I want to
start with objects which are as dumb and inert as I can find and see where I end up at the end of this project which will be exhibited as part of a group show at BSG on the 13th October.

Check out PNTR’s work at various Sweet Streets events including:

- The Sweet Streets at BSG group exhibition: 8-21st October, with opening night 13th Oct, Brunswick Street Gallery, Fitzroy)
