Auckland-based artist Liyen Chong and Whanganui-based photographer Ben Cauchi have also been selected by the trust for residencies in 2011.
Liyen's work is varied, but she has most recently been creating embroidered images using human hair.
Liyen lives in Grey Lynn and says she is looking forward to getting out of the city and working in a bush setting when her residency begins in February.
"It will be a good chance for me to explore other mediums and expand my practice," she says.
Ben has spent a decade exploring the nature of photography and the psychological dimensions of viewing.
"I'm very excited about it. For me it's a chance to work in a larger studio and take advantage of the facilities, like labs, that are available in Auckland," he says. RICHARD EDMONDSON AND CATHERINE HEALY
