Like a lot of this gallery of my work I am busy with the sorting of images and finding appropriate categories. Built world suggests major constructions that aren't natural. Mind you, they are surrounded by the natural. There is a lot of poetic license here...

I live in NZ, but as a Lonely Planet travel writer and constant journeyer I got used to describing buildings from places I liked - but a picture is worth a thousand words and a thousand pictures a million words and so on - so excuse these voluminous attempts at description.

Anyway some more of my pics. I hope you enjoy them.

inanga > Go-ogle 3-D

See if you can discover the teenage outpouring of angst in this collage. The 3-D of the Taj Mahal, an artwork of the highest order based on love, is a screen dump from Google Earth. The surrounding photos are of my artwork and an on-line Dan Winter article.

inanga > 'They are not just standing stones, Martin' - collage for Mikey Havoc for saying this and another whenever it is requested for Newsboy. It was great you took that Landrover trip with Martin at Waitapu Stream, Maunganui Bluff, Aotearoa.

inanga > Aoteroa’s Birdman visits Easter Island

Aotearoa is known more for its flightless Kiwis than for its flying ones. A J Hackett the renowned Bungy inventor, jumper and rogue breaks this traditional mould. This pic shows AJ dropping in on the moai carvings of Easter Island (also Waitangi-ki-roto in Waitaha, Pasquale in Spanish and Rapanui in Easter Island dialect). 

The seven figures have spun the right Phi-harmonic for AJ to tune in on and their hats reflect the colours of the rainbow – I suppose they are a representative Seven Pillars of Wisdom. See, the Easter Islanders got together with the Chatham Islanders via South America and went back to discover the islands of Whai Repo and Aotea (modern-day New Zealand). They were Tuatha de Danaan, from an Eastern Mediterranean sailing nation, and skilled pyramid builders, Celts, whatever. That is entirely another story which could be substantiated in depth. But that’s another day.

The construction of the moai was fun and involved a little research. Eventually they became magi (wise men), probably members of the Nashqabandyya Order of the Tariqqa Sufiyya. One even became the wise owl of the Hopi Clan of the Four Corners of the US. And that is also another story! A strip of greenstone was placed on AJ’s helmet for additional protection and the chief magi shaman thingy on the right-hand side was adorned with a paua crown.

If the pic had a next frame then AJ wouldn’t be in it as he would have been retracted out of view by his bungy cord. The President for Life Mr Rat of the Animal Club NZ was entrusted with the delivery of this item to AJ but he forgot. One day AJ, now Bat (or Pekapeka) in the ACNZ will be a representative of the flying mammals. If the pic looks a little ‘caricaturish’ then so be it, as it was meant to be.

Acrylic, oil, gouache, lots of glitter, paua, collaged photographs on paper, 2006
