Ashton Northcott is in her final-year of the Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design.
A recent exhibition of Ashton's work staged at the Hastings Community Arts Centre celebrated her take on gender, expressing the notion of female control and attempting to restore female loss of imagination.
The exhibition, entitled Ashton's Army, was staged for the 21-year-old as the 2009 winner of the prestigious David Fine scholarship. The scholarship is awarded by the Hastings Community Arts Centre Trust.
Ashton, however, chose to widen its scope by inviting some 40 fellow EIT arts and design students to participate.
Her detailed handmade works may adopt a mocking tone, yet they preserve female obsession, tradition and ritual behaviour.
They calmly explore the behaviours of women in society, the home and the world of fashion.
Ashton started a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Massey but will complete EIT's Bachelor of Arts and Design at EIT this year, having found Hawke's Bay a more enjoyable place to study.
Ashton intends to enrol for the Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Secondary) at EIT next year.
