Midland Gate centre manager Jacqueline McKenzie said the judges were delighted with Hayley’s use of balance and tension in her work, noting her “outstanding quality of work for such a young artist”.
Designed to support youth development through contemporary art, HyperVision aims to inspire young artists to explore their skills and encourage more active involvement of culture in community.
Works were available for viewing in the shopping centre for most of July.
As the winner of the people’s choice competition, Hayley received a $1000 prize from Midland Gate.
