Cassandra Barnett: The female body as an agent

Lecturer, Whiti o Rehua School of Art Massey University Wellington, Cassandra Barnett, discusses Ann Shelton’s photography using nature and plants and through this lens, considers how her practice connects to the Aotearoa New Zealand context and questions of colonialism – how she disrupts the coloniser views of landscape and from there how these works all also connect to key Shelton themes of gender and power.
