'Day of the Dead'

Day of the Dead - 15 New Zealand Artists on Mortality.
I produced and co-curated this show in Oct - Nov 2013 at Refinery Artspace, Nelson, and designed and published a 44 page book to document the exhibition and some of the writing that accompanied it.
Images by Anika Walker, except Craig Potton’s image (artist’s own).
