Our 2010 Mercedes Benz Artist in Residence was Caroline McQuarrie, a lecturer in photography at Massey University College of Creative Arts in Wellington. Born in Greymouth, Caroline studied Fine Arts at Canterbury University before working in London for five years as a photographer, including restoring and retouching photographs. She returned to Massey in 2002 to do a Masters degree and then teach. Caroline created a unique exhibition of cyanotype blue photographic prints on domestic textiles such as napkins, tray cloths, tea towels and tablecloths. She also enjoyed the interaction with the students before they reached university, where she normally sees them. " Most of us don't know much about the school system, particularly since NCEA. It's actually really interesting from a profesional point of view to see what they do and their expectations," she said. "It's been great". |
