About The Artwork
“Whanganui” investigates the fragile relationship between humans and nature. There is a stunning disregard for the protection of our natural world, especially when it comes to its waterways, which may be due to the physical distance we have to maintain from the ocean world. Inspired by the rare success story of the Whanganui River being granted human rights in New Zealand, this series plunges models underwater to explore what lies beneath the surface. There is a dreamlike, almost fantastical, atmosphere created by Westerhuis’ compositions and palette, and the women appear to almost be mythical creatures. These photographs allow us, for a moment, to indulge in the fantasy of a world where there is a mutual respect between humans and nature, and our waters will finally be safe.

Richard's passion for the arts started in his early twenties when he became an avid art collector. At the height of a successful business career, a burn-out caused Richard to reconsider what was truly important in life. His fascination with human behavior and his passion for the arts have merged into a unique creative vision, utilizing the mise en scene as his palet and the ambiguity of human behavior as his voice. Working closely with his models, Richard searches for the moment when they are ready to shed their projected self-images and show who they really are. At this moment of release, he registers their true vulnerability and openness. In order to reach this state of release and freedom, Richard lures his models out of their comfort zones with what he calls 'dramatizing elements', causing a conflict between the models' assumed identities and their true self. A process providing a continuous flow of unexpected and beautiful perspectives to capture.
