Mulholland was born in Folkestone, England in 1951 and emigrated to New Zealand in 1953 with his sister, mother and father. His father’s work took their growing family to many different places throughout New Zealand, generating his fixed and fluid relationship to the land. Trained as a musician, draughtsman and mason, he studied art theory, art education and architecture at the University of Canterbury, whilst working full time as a structural and architectural designer. Working across a diverse range of media with sculpture, found objects, painting, print, photography, music, sound and light, his work has evolved into an articulation of space, shape and language within a conceptual framework. Through exhibitions, private and public commissions, Mulholland’s work continues to find collectors throughout New Zealand..
