Jeremy began his carving journey at our whare whakairo in 2023 after an injury caused him to leave his previous employment as a farmer and meatworker. Since joining the team, he has been able to pursue his passion and build skills as a kaiwhakairo, focusing on local traditions, materials and forms as well as developing unique contemporary style. He has a passion for his whakapapa and soaking up traditional purakau from our living taonga (treasures) - our kaumātua (elders).
