Sean is a successful New Zealand sculptor. Originally Wellington-based, but now living and working in the rural Wairarapa, his works are found and sought after both nationally and overseas.
Sean’s inspirations are as varied as they are evolving. His approach to his art practice is always narrative-driven and frequently highlights environmental and social themes. History plays an important role – with some of Sean’s sculptures reflecting on New Zealand’s colonial past, while also being influenced by the Gothic storyteller Edgar Allen Poe and the paintings of NZ artist Bill Hammond.
Along with public artworks around New Zealand, Sean’s work ‘The Cloak of Remembrance’ sits outside the New Zealand embassy in Washington, DC. It’s a sign that his ideas, although largely homegrown, are both respected and relevant on the world stage.
