Colin Belfit grew up in 1970s Turangi, amongst a culture of tangata whenua, Italian mining families, and American evangelical Christians. After leaving school, he studied at the Auckland Technical Institute to become a Textile Technician. This was a mistake, as he really wanted to be a musician. Here, he shares his perspective on life with an artist in the house – in this case, outstanding photographer and 2019 Arts Foundation Laureate, Yvonne Todd.
