The light and colouring are perhaps uniquely NZ, while the significance of tended and shaped plants in terms of human interaction illustrates the mixing of imported and local cultural identity.

So, is Karl Maughan inspired by the majestic sounds of nature, and the sweet pastoral pluckings of folk music? Well…not really.]]></description>

		    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[On the surface, the subject matter of Edith Amituanai’s photography seems to be “people in their homes”. While at a most simplistic level this is true, the real subject of Edith’s work may be considered to be the history, migration and displacement of those people pictured in her photographs, and how their sense of cultural and family identity is always evident.

But Edith does not only present theoretical concepts in her art with the dispassionate eye of the camera. She engages with what might be seen as her “social studies” in everyday life. Apart from her internationally-exhibited photography, she has worked with refugees assisting with their resettlement in New Zealand; and her commitment to her community in Auckland has led to her becoming a teacher.

In this episode of Seeded, Edith Amituanai further illustrates her work by playing some music that parallels and reinforces her own ideas…]]></itunes:summary>

He developed his artistic vision through avoiding his home life and walking alone through the countryside, and his work still crackles with implied and explicit narrative, humour, and the bright colours of the local landscape.

Rachael Churchward has been one of New Zealand’s most in-demand and influential stylists since the early 90s when she inadvertently became the first fashion editor of Auckland’s Planet Magazine. 

From being a trainee chef to becoming a video director, fashion editor, celebrity stylist and the co-creator of a whole new magazine, Rachael has exhibited a most elusive of qualities - a strong sense of good personal taste.  

In this episode of Seeded, Rachael illustrates -- with a striking soundtrack --  how an early 80s move from Whangarei to Selwyn College led to life as a stylish Auckland punk rocker, on to fruitful collaborations across the media,  all the way to her current role as fashion editor and creative director of Black Magazine.]]></itunes:summary>

She describes her work as ‘a passport to people’s lives’; and Zoe manages to engage a wide variety of unusual and colourful characters to share their stories. The award winning ‘Lost In Wonderland’ is about the former detective-turned-lawyer who represented himself at the High Court transformed into Alice in Wonderland; and ‘Night Vision’ was a portrait of a family group made up of a prostitute, a pimp, and their offspring.

An art school graduate, he became the subject of controversy in early 2010 when he was disqualified from the Adam Awards for his entry, a large-scale portrait of convicted murderer Clayton Weatherston, though he was already a finalist for the award.. 
Liam’s connections with music run deep. 

He played keyboards with The Veils for three years in the Nux Vomica era, and his intricate artwork graces the cover of Alice By The Moon, the second album from The Checks. 

However, Liam says he that it is a rather different style of music that informs both his art and his approach to life: Heavy Metal.]]></itunes:summary>
