Biography
Based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Josh is an artist whose practice explores the many dimensions of gay identity, using intimate and personal subjects to open broader conversations about selfhood, sexuality, and belonging.
Working primarily with photography, he is interested in bringing images beyond the digital screen and into physical form through printing processes and material experimentation.
At the end of 2024, Josh left a career in digital marketing to pursue art, graduating from The Learning Connexion in 2026. He now works from his Nautilus studio, developing a creative practice that values materiality, community, and authentic human connection.
