Rose Hill

Information

My family used to drive from Wellington to my grandmother’s farm, Rose Hill, in the Hawkes Bay every school holidays. After spending several years abroad, I recently returned with and sense of disconnection to this landscape. This became the natural entry point for this project. Drawing from childhood memories, this project sets out to document the scenes found in the region and consider this in relation to notions of memory, belonging and loss.
