Child abuse spurs former St Hildas pupil
John Armstrong
Her portfolio gained an Excellence endorsement and has been the only one in Otago and Southland to be selected for the Top Art touring exhibition of art works by New Zealand's top secondary school art pupils. Ms Carr said her exhibit was based on the work of artist Gottfried Helnwein, who showed the effects of war on German children by using bandages in his images.
Ms Carr's artwork is touring as part of the North Island exhibit and is now at the Rotorua Museum (to April 17), Wintec School of Media Arts in Hamilton (April 22-May 1), Te Manawa in Palmerston North (May 4-8), Tairawhiti Museum & Art Gallery in Gisborne (May 11-15) and the Havelock North Community Centre in Hawkes Bay (May 18-22).
She is now studying for a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland Elam School of Fine Arts with a view to a career in photography.
Inspired by the work of Gottfried Helnwein
