Celebrate Art

Andrea McSweeney —

Roslyn McLean received an Excellence Award at the Celebrate Art Show in September.

Celebrate included secondary schools from across Otago and was held at the Otago School of Art. McLean's work explores notions of the muse and the artist through a feminist lens. Utilising the traditional tropes of portraiture the viewer is guided to consider the tension between the muse and artist and what this may mean when, as with McLean's case, they are one and the same.
