Front cover photo:
When technology and art meet, you get the spectacular work shown on this edition’s front cover. Level 6 art student Sian Richardson, 26, emulated the style of British pop-artist David Hockney to create this collage of 187 photographs of the front entrance at Waiariki. The images took her less than 10 minutes to take (speed is of the essence) and almost a week to compile in the time-movement “photojoiner”.
No surprise that Sian left her job in retail to attain an art qualification and her favourite genre are graphic design and photography. The former Rotorua Girls’ High School student is well on her way to earning a qualification which will give her more career satisfaction and role-model the benefits of better education to her five-year-old daughter Seraphine. Sian is pictured with Waiariki art lecturer Helen Cooper.
