Mannequins and sharp lighting, glass and reflections – creating a nicely balanced but faux group portrait. The two main characters look both menacing and at the same time wary of what they’re looking at. I’m really happy with this shot because I find the faces interesting to look at - we spend so much time trying to read emotion and meaning from expressions that even with these innate but very anthropomorphic dummies I keep wanting to know more from them.
I like street art and here in Wellington, presumably like in other cities around the globe, there are commissioned pieces by local artists. The head in this image, or rather the outline of the held acted as a frame for a fantastical industrial depiction of coffee making. It forms quite a striking image at the end of a relatively old building. Opposite was a building site for a new residential development along Taranaki Street. I remember it being a beautiful day, deep blue skies and bright sun. I thought the head looking across at the cranes and the development formed an interesting story and pleasing image
