AND a super cool article about the Rutherford Trust Collection which is currently on show up at Aratoi | Wairarapa Museum of Art and History in Masterton. My Mum has been interviewed about this as she initiated getting the collection made into a book that was distributed to secondary kids pre-internet.
I remember her working on this project and being exposed to phenomenal New Zealand artists as a result. This was when I fell in love with the visual mastery of Tony Fomison, Gordon Walters, Colin McCahon, Rob McLeod (who later taught me and revolutionised how I saw and used colour), Gerda Leenards, Jane Poutney and Gretchen Albrecht's artworks. Combined with instilling in me knowledge of the classics and historical works (the Renaissance, Pre-raphaelite's and the contemporaries), Mum laid the foundations for my passion of visual media- KaaaaBOOOOM in the eyes and mind of an 8 year old!
