Edendale School | Pool Block Mural FLOX x TrustMe What an honour it was to be invited back to our favourite little school, Edendale Primary School! You may remember, TrustMe and I painted the whole front facade of this school back in 2019 and this time our task was to liven up the school pool changing rooms. This piece depicts two giant Tuna (eels) swimming towards each other, acting as kaitiaki for the tamariki of the school and in particular, around the water. We also included female and male Puriri moths and text elements: Tama and Kōtiro to define the changing room spaces.    ..read more

“Past and Present” The Huia which was thought to be last seen in the Wairarapa region dominates the left side of the artwork, while our beloved North Island Kokako faces her from the right.

The brightly blue coloured manu is surrounded in native Karo flowers, leaves and fruit, a favourite food source for the Kōkako. The left side of the artwork includes o ..read more

Fantastical Forest By Flox x Sweats This artwork pays homage to the unique geography and flora/fauna that form part of the Taranaki region, both now and in days gone by. The Kamahi Walk in East Egmont otherwise known as The Goblin Forest, is a local tourist attraction and has been compared to that of a fantasy movie. Kamahi trees interweave and curl themselves around existing trees, creating a very distinctive, gnarled and twisted-like forest. This ancient setting has formed the basis of inspiration for this artwork.  Fantastical goblin-like faces and enchanted creatures follow ..read more

Putahi Park Mural concept: “The Pathway” Client: Whangarei District Council This artwork pays homage to geographical, cultural and historical aspects of the local area. The mural site is in close proximity to the Hātea River which flows from Whāngarei Falls down into the harbour like a pathway to the sea – where fresh and salt water meet. The palette and textured drips used throughout the artwork are inspired by these bodies of water, as is the hero Kahawai and ribbons of seaweed. When the ancestor Ihenga arrived in Whāngarei, he and his group set up camp at the Tauranga Waka landing (where th ..read more

1907 Water and I have come together to create a unique water bottle label encapsulating the unique flavours of New Zealand. “The artwork incorporates the native North Island Kōkako perched amongst Pūriri and Kauri botanicals whilst set against a backdrop of quintessential snow capped mountains.  This bird was incorporated as a nod to the Legend Of Maui, where the Kōkako filled it’s wattles with water and brought it to Maui as he fought the sun. I wanted this label to really celebrate Aotearoa as I know it’s destined for the overseas market. What better way for a product to stand out from ..read more
