Identity
Award-winning rose growers. Rodeo cowboys. 'Universe-straddling' drag queens. These seemingly disparate individuals, and many more from the length and breadth of the country, are brought together in a loving tribute to the unsung New Zealand achiever, in 'Champions: New Zealand Winners'. Casson, her husband and two-year-old son, spent 101 days touring the country pulling a 1970s caravan, searching for champions and winners from all walks of life. The portraits in this exhibition are the fruit of Casson's desire to capture the dedication, self-belief and good old Kiwi 'can-do' attitude that make New Zealanders who they are.
