About

 

Pac Art is the work of Fijian-Rotuman artist James Sanday. He moved to New Zealand as a child, bringing the patterns and lines of the Pacific Islands with him.

Memories of voivoi leaves woven into baskets, the masi (tapa cloth) covering the floors, and the silhouettes of turtles and fish moving beneath the surface of the sea inspire his work.

A trained graphic designer, James combines Pacific patterns with a minimalist eye to create his art.

James lives in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland and is happiest in the bush or the sea.
