The cards

Small enough to finish. Made to be sent.

Every card is A6, the size of a postcard, because a postcard is something you can finish in an evening and then put in the post. The back has a stamp box, an address panel, and one line to get you started. The front is drawn in one fine line with the shapes left open, so a pencil has somewhere to go.

Packs of six, twelve and twenty-four

Six people, twelve people, or twenty-four. A pack is a supply, not a project: loose cards, tied rather than bound, so one card is the whole commitment, with a one-page colour guide tucked in so the pencils you pick sit together, and the sheet that helps you work out who to write to.

Nowhere Else

Twenty-four native birds, insects and sea creatures, each drawn out of the plants it lives among. The kiwi is made of ponga fronds. The kōtare dives at a ring of whitebait. Most of them live nowhere else on earth, and neither does the person you are sending one to.

Between the Tides

Twelve drawings about carrying something, finishing something, and standing up. A seed, a first breath, three women under one moon, two hands holding a young fern. One of them is 1893, the year this became the first country in the world where women could vote for parliament, and the white camellia of that campaign runs through the set. These are the cards for the people who got you here.
