Photographing the world premiere opening of Vivienne Westwood jewellery for Te Papa was my favourite event to snap to date. Being punk as a teenager was my way to find my community, find connection through music and art, and I feel punk has always been an undertone and influenced my creative process as an artist. So as you can imagine being surrounded in a room full of 550 pieces created by og punk Dame badass social activist QUEEN herself - was something very very special to me and my inner punk teenager self. β€οΈβπ₯
The creative energy in each of VWs pieces resonates deeply and this show is definitely worth a visitβ¦ and is one to experience IRL whΔnau donβt miss it πͺ
Special thank you to ππΌ Emily for the opportunity and friendship! X
