Slightly out of order but.. These photographs are from the first assignment we had at Whitecliffe way back in February. The Christchurch and Rotorua students had to go up to Auckland for a week for orientation. While we were up there, we had that week to do a small body of work where the concept had the potential to span the length of the year. The items featured in the photographs belong to my classmates. They're objects they had with them at the time, that they thought would say the most about themselves. One of the things the tutors had said at the beginning of the week was to push ourselves out of out comfort-zone, as it were, hence the marks on the surface the objects are sitting on. I'm quite a perfectionist when it comes to that sort of thing and at first I was not happy about it. Now I think it adds something to the images. They were taken the week of the massive February 22nd Earthquake in Christchurch, and I just didn't have the time to edit them...
