Pipiriki
silver gelatin print. “It’s mostly the look on her face, that she is so happy with her horse. That sort of joy is a truly unparalleled joy. I met Ans Westra at a Sarjeant talk and she was nice. I think that she is a great subject photographer. I like that the person in the photograph is looking at a person (Ans) taking the photograph, but who is also looking at us, a person looking back… It goes on in a loop.”. Collection of the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui. Gift of the artist, 1996.
