Ngāti Ranginui, Ngai te Ahi
Harley Moore grew up on the east coast of the Bay of Plenty. He studied for his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Whitecliffe.
Harley now lives with his wife and four children in the North Island where he also works as a secondary school teacher. Harley has been a practising artist for many years, originally as a surrealist painter.
In 2012 he moved from painted images to developing a sculpting style using solely aluminium and rivets.
Harley has always had a deep respect for nature. His sculptures help him to negate a perceived
tension between the natural and the modern world. Harley sees his sculptures as a kind of
juxtaposition. Rather than manipulating natural materials, he uses industrial materials to make
representations of nature.
