‘The Winter Garden’ seeks to identify the familiar in a place continually changing.’ – Christine McFetridge
Inside the cloth-bound covers of this book Melbourne-based photographer Christine McFetridge shares her interpretation of what ‘home’ means. Drawing on memory and nostalgia the artist explores her own sense of belonging with a collection of photographs taken while visiting her hometown of Christchurch, New Zealand.
The singular placement of the images and the clean white pages between offer moments to pause and reflect, to turn the pages back and contemplate our own recollections and connection to place. A written piece by Ish Doney reminisces on what once was, now changed. ‘You wonder if you still have the right to call this home,’ the author concludes.
