This is an awesome recent project with @soulametric. Talks about the voyage. Using sunset/sunrise to reference the passing of time. Day / week / year The 4 circular ‘stars’ are taken from the 4 Knights film logo in an abstract way and also brings in a subtle nod to the Taki-o-Autahi / southern cross constellation. It was great to do this project for them! Check them out. @tavake_manu inspiration: The Tavake bird can be seen close to land; either leading a vaka home, or to new horizons. To us, Tavake represents an angel, a friend, a guide. Where are we going? We’re going home…to greatness. Smell the storm in the air, before it arrives, but trust in the process and our team. Keep our eyes on the horizon. Remember it will pass. Remember the reason. Don’t stop padding. Call out to Tavake…See her, hear her… Follow her. Where are we going? We’re going home...to greatness @fourknightsfilm @component #stencil #tavake_manu #fourknightsfilm #aotearoa #artwork #soulametric #component #ithinkcreative https://www.instagram.com/p/CRlaQnosbbRusn2H2wQMdDEf3E3zPbi9zQxC3E0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Retro Futuristic New Balance approached @component to create a captivating wall to help launch their super cool new shoe, The 237. The inspiration for the piece was, obviously, the shoe. So we took the awesome retro pastel colour palette and created a retro, futuristic Soul-A-Metric design to capture attention and provide a photogenic backdrop for passers by. The solid panels of complimentary colours, paired with the street style drips and splatters hopefully achieve this and provide a temporary splash of colour and energy to the St James hoarding. This piece will only be there for a limited time so try and stop by check it out! A Collaboration with @component & @ithinkcreative. Plus the extra spark from @lucyd_art on the art assist. #newbalance #237 #retrofuturistic #spraypaint #geometric #soulametric (at Queen Street NZ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO04dqbsNk2PN42FWk31-vv18JesteSB_5cNK00/?igshid=3bpsn432vhtb

Sharing this amazingly rewarding project. ‘US’ / A Vauxhall Primary Art Project. A collaboration between artists and students to inject energy, nature & colour to the heart of the school. Abstract geometric patterns designed to represent the growth & progression of youth development provide the base and add colour to the walls. These geometric shapes also help highlight other important elements like the school colours and a subtle reference to the ‘V’ for Vauxhall. The nature elements come in the form of the class names used in the school. Tui, Piwakawaka, Kauri, Totara, Kowhai & Miro. All of these elements have been represented visually. Additionally other areas of natural progression too, including the caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly journey which is a beautiful metaphor for growth, which was an idea that came directly from a students input. The result is a journey through childhood that covers an entire block of the school. Hopefully a shining beacon to visitors and passersby alike. @component in colab with @ithinkcreative with art support from @lucyd_art And @stephen_langdon_photo in the filming time lapse and filming. . . . #component #stencilart #auckland #vauxhall #vauxhallprimaryschool #geomectric #humanjourney #wallwork #aotearoa #artforthechildren #schoolartwork #workshop https://www.instagram.com/p/COh8sLJMP73rQBsAiRAbd4OFNzRQpih4HeOVR40/?igshid=qdhtuc7wdzab

So much fun working on this awesome wall with @component & @lucyd_art Love the way the bright, energetic geometric colours really pop off the wall! And the supersized #pīwakawaka stands proud on top of my favorite flower, the majestic hibiscus! 🌺 Plus the real hibiscus bush in front blends the piece directly into its environment! Thanks for providing the amazing canvas for us @kidd_rochelle Can’t wait to work on the next one! #greenhithe #spraypaint #art #stencil #geometric #soul-a-metric (at Greenhithe, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN8R7wuMI-HdnFEaMWh0uTST8wm62wtrwwJgyo0/?igshid=ey0ywyyglfqe
