*this* is what inspires me
I live in very rural New Zealand. Yes it’s a bit run-down, yes it has some problems, yes the old freezing works is a bit of an eyesore. But you know what? When I look at this photo, freezing works ruin included, I just see the beauty. How can I not be inspired with such stunning views around me?One photo is looking up the river towards the old works, the other is looking out to sea.

NZ Art Guild 2008 Collaborative Project
‘Reach Out’88 artists have contributed to ‘Reach Out’ by creating one small individual artwork. We were provided with a small wooden panel and given a theme to paint to. The theme this year is ‘On your mind’ and interpretation of this was entirely up to the artists.
When all of these individual artworks are combined they create an overall image and a stunning one of a kind artwork measuring 1.3m x 1.5m. The overall image of the collaborative artwork is kept secret, even from those participating in it, until the unveiling of the artwork on the opening night of the NZ Art Guild annual exhibition.
