Motukakaho Island

ARTIST STATEMENT

This image is from Mercy Mercer, a book I worked on for three years in New Zealand.

Mercer is a small town on the banks of the Waikato River, where my mother was born to a family of six children. She was the oldest daughter and the second sibling behind her elder brother, Arthur. Her father, James Alfred Ledwith, was the local minister of the Church of England in Mercer and I have many memories of my mother telling me stories about him-he died before I was born.

This image was taken on Motukakaho Island, where a large homestead once stood. All that is left now is this overgrown hydrangea bush and a few of the foundations.
