About the Work
“Edith
Collier
exerts
a
presence
in
this
city,
in
street
art,
street
names
and
the
largest
collection
of
her
work
located
anywhere,
at
the
Sarjeant.
I’ve
learnt
a
lot
about
Edith
Collier
during
my
time
in
Whanganui.
Going
through
the
archives
of
the
Edith
Collier
Trust
and
transcribing
postcards
written
from
and
to
her
was
illuminating.
Having
been
given
this
context,
this
candid
photograph
makes
me
feel
like
I’m
witnessing
someone
I
know
somewhat.”
