Michele Westmorland and
Karen Huntt recently returned from a two month
long expedition to Papua New Guinea and the
Solomon Islands where they realized their project
vision, Headhunt Revisited, Charting Cultural
Change in Melanesia. The idea was born some 12
years ago when Michele was given a copy of
Caroline Mytinger’s book New Guinea Headhunt. Mytinger
traveled to Melanesia in 1926 to paint portraits
of the people before the intrusion of the Western
world changed the indigenous peoples’ way of life
forever. Michele and Karen went to the area to
document the people as they live today and to
portray the changes that have occurred in the past
75 years.
