• Road trip sampling MOA fossils

  Apple

  12 December 2005

  Road trip sampling MOA fossils across New Zealand. Equipped with a digital camera and a mac powerbook - I shot the whole trip through the windscreen from the passanger perspective, recording us meandering up and down this hyper dynamic landscape. Eroding mountains, people, sheep, moa excavation sites, bones and sampling process, rotorua steamy landscape, tractors, other cars, solitude, shadows, sky, water, anything and everything. I loaded these instantly on the mac, distorted them in Photoshop on the road. Thanks to mac and accessories I have enough material for a solo exhibition.

• Communicate at so many levels

  Adobe

  12 December 2005

  This hyper versatile program has allowed me to communicate at so many levels. I design products, posters, educational manuscripts, scientific conceptual models, preliminary studies for paintings, and tweaked or cleaned photograpic images with this amazing software application!

• Feel and polish

  iPod

  12 December 2005

  Love things that do. Favourite attributes? Music, data, image and video display, oodles of space and mobility- Great! The package? tactile. That shiny stainless steel back- that I have to feel and polish.

• My benevolent companion

  iTunes

  12 December 2005

  Fluid - amazing capacity and easy to decipher. I love music. All sorts. And so iTunes is my benevolent companion during long long bouts of writing, analysing, or day dreaming, etc.

• Frees me to record a chronology of sketches

  Canon

  14 December 2005

  Telling and listening to stories has always intrigued me, in more than just the traditional media. Canon's (digital camera) user friendly interface, relatively high resolution and compact design frees me to record a chronology of sketches that tell tall, quirky, sad, or real 'tales'.
