No.s 17 and 19 Bell St., Wanganui
colour photograph. This shot resonates with me and reminds me of Wes Andersons movies which I religiously watched as a kid. Classics like Fantastic Mr Fox and Grand Budapest Hotel. My brother and I are fascinated by the way he composes his scenes with elegance and symmetry while keeping to a minimalist but bright colour scheme. This image does this to a ‘T’ but in our small town of Whanganui I passed these houses everyday going to school. Seeing images like this sets new perspectives of the world that we already inhabit and I really appreciate that. Collection of the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui. Purchased, 1996.

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.”.
