Shane began tying in 2015 where he quickly found a strong passion for rope. Learning quickly both locally and travelling interstate at every chance to further knowledge, he took on an educational role and not long there after began teaching and performing interstate. Rope then carried through to travelling to Japan to further continue his education. In Febuary of 2020, during his trip to Japan, Sparks was then accepted into the position of deshi to Nawashi Kanna Sensei and recieved his teaching certificate in the style of Kanna Ryu.
His early trouble shooting and un-canny memory enables him to modify and skillfully adapt ties to each model. The deep intimacy and connections conveyed through rope is what Sparks enjoys most about shibari. This along with the precision and control imbedded into Kanna ryu, is how he shapes his ties, and create experiences, each unique to itself just as the next.
