I’m incredibly proud to announce that The Infinite Constant Front will transform @edenparknz, New Zealand’s national stadium, into an artwork for the first time in its 126-year history.

Headlining Art In The Park, New Zealand’s national art show, the work will operate at the scale of the stadium itself, bringing together visual art, music, and architecture as part of a broader celebration of Aotearoa’s artistic identity.

The work continues an exploration that has shaped my practice. The language of nature, the sublime, and what it means to exist in a universe surrounded by forces far greater than ourselves. Built from hand-crafted computational simulations, physical materials, and civic scale installation, the work reaches toward the beauty, violence, and constant transformation of a natural language that has existed before us, and will persist long after we are gone.

New Zealand sits at the heart of this work. Instead of any formal artistic lineage, its landscapes, oceans, weather and natural systems became the framework through which I learned to see, think and make. An artistic language carried through my practice over the past 15 years. After more than a decade presenting work internationally, bringing those ideas home at this scale for the first time is deeply significant to who I am, where my work began, and what this opportunity means to me.

For over a century, Eden Park has stood as one of New Zealand’s defining civic and cultural spaces. Transforming the national stadium through visual art, music, and architecture, reflects the curatorial vision of the Art in the Park team and their ambition for what this country’s artists can do. Together across art, curation and large-scale production, we have an unprecedented opportunity to show what happens when New Zealand artists are given the space to think and work at this scale.

I’m honoured to be part of this moment. To celebrate what is being made in New Zealand and to occupy spaces not traditionally given to art, which continues to assert New Zealand as a distinct and important voice in the global art world.
