Acrylic on board, 550mm x 800mm

Such a well known school and landmark of Christchurch,  yet I’d rarely been beyond the front gate until recently when my dear friend Philippa took me into her workplace. Once inside you appreciate how the school’s continual growth over the last 150 + years has culminated in a collection of buildings which read like a who’s who of NZ architecture. Added to this has been the rebuilding and restoration after the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. My favourite view is one which captures  traditional and contemporary styles with Selwyn House against the backdrop of the recent Fine Arts and Technology block.
