About...

Name
Lila Price
A bit about

I am an art, photography and design teacher, working in Christchurch. I have been teaching for ten years. I absolutely love my job. The young people I work with are very inspirational.

My family also are extremely influential in my life. My son features as a model in many of my current images.

Big Idea

I am fascinated by old edwardian style family photos, family
trees and the scientific ramifications of genetic links within
families. My artwork is an exploration of the animal/human connection,
genetically, spiritually and instinctively. Mainly between humans and
indigenous bird species of New Zealand.

Looking down through the magnifying glass it is possible to see the skeleton of a bird. This appears as if it were a detail of the inner organs of a young man, trying to escape a bird's nest. It is as though on closer inspection, this young man is part bird. Read More »
