About the Work
I
read
David
Hockney
and
Martin
Gayford's
book
'Spring
Cannot
be
Cancelled'
recently
and
seriously
enjoyed
it.
Among
many
things,
it
has
me
thinking
about
the
weather
all
the
time
now,
and
what
it
takes
to
properly
illustrate
it.
I
love
how
this
Ans
Westra
photograph
captures
the
wind
so
accurately,
it's
almost
audible.

After arriving in the country from her native Holland, Westra made her first trip up the Whanganui River in 1960 and began an engagement with the people of the region that continues to this day.
