Artist Profile – Ben Reid
Ben Reid’s work explores the effects of colonisation on New Zealand’s native animals, especially focusing on the ‘invasion’ of rats to Big South Cape Island in 1964. This resulted in the annihilation of the native Stead Bush Wren in 1968.
Reid graduated from Christchurch Polytechnic in 2005 and currently works as an assistant printmaker at Paper Graphica.
Reid’s work focuses on our unique environment and fragile eco system and the effects of introduced animals on our landscape.
