Ans Westra worked with students in our Art and Design Department as our Mercedes-Benz Artist in Residence for 2003, our 125th Anniversary. Ans Westra is one of New Zealand's most prominent photojournalists. Her documentary work of New Zealanders and their lives has formed a special part of New Zealand history. Her unobtrusive style has gained her some wonderful images and admiration from both her subjects and those viewing her work. Ans Westra’s daughter attended Marsden and she has maintained an interest in the school. During her residency Ms Westra undertook a photo essay of the school, including 125th Anniversary events. In August, students, parents and friends of the school were able to view this work at a special exhibition. This collection has become a valuable part of the school's historical records.  |
