One of the most interesting cultural phenomena in New Zealand over the past 20 years has been the spectacular success of the World of Wearable Art, an annual competition and award show that explores the intersection between fashion and art, through a genre popularly known as wearable art. This unique event, which draws an audience in Wellington of around 35,000 people, has encouraged an explosion of creative activity, inspiring a wide range of fashion designers, artists, costume makers and other craft artists from all over the world to participate. The range of garments produced for this event is breathtaking, as the rules of competition mean that anything of quality that is in any way wearable can find a place on the catwalk. What this also means is that the garments are constructed from an extraordinary array of materials - car parts, wood shavings, zips, silk, potato chip packets, seaweed, slices of toast, old telephone posts, paper ...

NZ Post Childrens Book Awards Non-fiction Winner 2009
A painting can take you to many places. It can take you around the world, or it can take you around the country, city or neighbourhood you live in. It can also transport you back into the distant past of myths, legends and ancient history - or it can take you way into the future. Since Maori first drew moa and mythical birds on cave walls, artists in Aotearoa New Zealand have provided an imaginative, lively account of the lives locals have been leading, the dreams they've been dreaming and the stories they've been telling. Alongside works painted during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book features art by contemporary painters and printmakers, all of them seasoned travellers across time and space. Angels, rugby players, whales, kiwi and canoes, moa and mountains, the bush and the beaches all play starring roles in this bird's-eye view of New Zealand ...

Based on one-on-one interviews with Te Papa's fashion curator, these profiles are also generously illustrated with literally hundreds of catwalk and editorial photographs and material from each designers' own archives and collections, plus a generous sample of the garments they have designed over the years.

Laurence Aberhart has been at the forefront of New Zealand photography since the late 1970s, and is recognised as a major international figure. Like the paintings of Colin McCahon — an artist with whom Aberhart is frequently paired — his photographs are a sustained meditation on time, place and cultural history. They are also virtuoso pieces of photographic craft.
This book is a landmark in New Zealand art publishing. In a definitive overview of Laurence Aberhart’s work to date, 240 full-page reproductions of iconic photographs of churches, marae, cemeteries, Masonic Lodges and other subjects are accompanied by illuminating essays by leading New Zealand art writers Gregory O'Brien and Justin Paton. O’Brien pursues the motif of the horizon through Aberhart’s work, considering the many journeys that his career encompasses and the shelters and structures seen along the way, while Paton focuses on the human presences that quietly ...
