It’s been fantastic working with CanTeen, Auckland on this project for the past few months- a big shout-out to youth worker and member liaison coordinator Kent Christensen for helping me connect with members and for making this project happen!

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to meet up with a few members at CanTeen headquarters in Grafton to discuss the project and their involvement. I had a really great time explaining the project, answering their (many!) questions, and brought along a few of my paintings and drawings to show them.

After giving them a few weeks to percolate their ideas they got back to me with a list. Check out my brainstorm of their ideas below.

Next step: turning their ideas in to art….

Wish me luck!
