Ahi kaa is a cornerstone principle of land rights in Maori tribal contexts. In an era during which urban drift and migration abroad depopulates small rural communities, the people who remain on tribal land continue the values of a centuries-old practice called ahi-kaa-roa, literally the long burning fires of occupation.
Others return seasonally or when occasions call, to contribute to keeping marae ‘warm’ through usage.
This body of work approaches marae and surrounding tribal lands as a lived space in which intergenerational use keeps the fires burning.

Peter Ireland EyeContact review 12.3.13

Zealandia: Views from the Peak? I s an extensive photographic study, which documents the current oil and natural gas industry landscape of New Zealand. The discovery and wide use of oil and natural gas, which are essentially trapped remnants of ancient life forms, has transformed human society, enabling the insatiable growth of the industrialised world and has made a globalised society possible. It has become common knowledge that today for every three barrels of oil we consume, only one new barrel is discovered. Meanwhile the demand for oil and gas continues to grow. This is an unsustainable practice in the long-term and has led many to believe that we are at the peak of oil production, and that given oil is a finite resource, global oil reserves are approaching an age of terminal decline. This raises critical issues for the future of the economy, transportation and food production worldwide.

New Zealand is a mass of land that protrudes above sea level from an otherwise submerged continent known as Tasmantis or Zealandia. Zealandia is known to contain large amounts of oil and natural gas, some of which is already being exploited in the Taranaki region, whilst exploration in other areas of Zealandia are currently underway with more expected to be discovered.

The oil industry is a hot topic in New Zealand at the moment and presents highly political, economic and environmental issues, which will unfold over the coming years. My goal in photographing the oil industry is certainly not to attack the industry. That would be hypocritical as I like all other New Zealanders are dependent upon industry within the landscape. The purpose of this project is to document the current oil and natural gas landscape in New Zealand for contemporary contemplation and historical reference.
