About the Work
“It’s
mostly
the
look
on
her
face,
that
she
is
so
happy
with
her
horse.
That
sort
of
joy
is
a
truly
unparalleled
joy.
I
met
Ans
Westra
at
a
Sarjeant
talk
and
she
was
nice.
I
think
that
she
is
a
great
subject
photographer.
I
like
that
the
person
in
the
photograph
is
looking
at
a
person
(Ans)
taking
the
photograph,
but
who
is
also
looking
at
us,
a
person
looking
back…
It
goes
on
in
a
loop.”

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.
