Steve WAtts

Based in Christchurch, I am a wood- based artist whose practice is shaped by the natural landscapes of Aotearoa. Working with locally sourced timber, I explore form, texture and the inherent history held within the material.

Influenced by the coastal environment and the rhythms of the sea, my work reflects a dialogue between, land, water, and craft.

Through carving, I aim to honour the character of the wood while creating contemporary pieces rooted in place and sustainability.
