Todd Douglas
Todd Douglas was born in 1965 in Auckland. He is of Nga Puhi (Ngati Manu, te Mahurehure) and Celtic descent.
Douglas's ceramics explore the two worlds of western practices of clay moulding and firing,
and the Maori traditions of carving and story telling. The joining of these two worlds has resulted in a contemporary art practice that stretches the boundaries of clay and produces
new possibilities for contemporary Maori.
Using techniques inspired by early Maori carvings, Douglashas made works in ceramic,
stone, cast glass, and bronze.
