Worthy endeavour

Queen Charlotte College

A project not for the fainthearted or faintheaded, this piece of artwork is a deserved source of pride for students and faculty.

Recreating a College's crest sounds like an easy task, until you find out that the brief calls for a reinvention of the key design elements to fit a wall 8 metres high and 15 metres wide. Thanks to Rick Edmonds the artist using predominantly Resene testpots and some larger cans of Resene Lumbersider satin acrylic, Picton's Queen Charlotte College lost a dull wallspace and gained a realistic pictorial statement featuring a Maori Patu, stylised book, the Southern Cross and Captain Cook's ship the Endeavour. A project not for the fainthearted or faintheaded, this piece of artwork is a deserved source of pride for students and faculty.
