"Chris Charteris has worked as a full time artist (sculptor, carver, jewellery maker) since the mid 1980s... Chris's working processes and creative kaupapa are much informed by his early training as a [Maori] carver. Being of Kiribati and Fijian heritage, Polynesian forms are a natural source of contemplation and design and reflects his interest in mans [sic] historical interactions and ongoing relationship with nature."
