Brett Graham is a New Zealand sculptor who creates large scale artworks and installations that explore indigenous histories, politics and philosophies. Of Ngāti Korokī Kahukura and Pakeha descent, Graham was born in Auckland, New Zealand, where he currently resides.
Snitch from 2014, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, references the Disney movie Lilo & Stitch. It is an example of the artist's combining traditional Maori carving with contemporary themes.
Brett Graham used recycled rubber tires and steel to make sculptures and they were called “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. Graham’s sculpture “Te Hokioi” was created because of the 2007 police raids on the Tuhoe community of Ruatoki.
