Veil Magazine
-
A new publication dedicated to real romance, ritual, and modern matrimony.
Created as both a platform and a printed magazine, VEIL celebrates the artistry and intention behind contemporary weddings - the people, places, and processes that make them meaningful. Its first issue highlights the work of designers, photographers, and planners who approach marriage as both craft and culture, exploring not just how we celebrate, but why.
With contributions from international creatives, VEIL brings together a considered collection of stories that explore connection, creativity, and the enduring relevance of ceremony. It is a thoughtful reflection of how modern couples are choosing to express themselves - blending heritage with innovation and personal meaning.

Recloaking Papatūānuku
-
This booklet, which was printed locally on Eco recycled stock, was created to accompany the short film Think Like a Forest, documenting the ambitious movement to restore and regenerate over two million hectares of native forest and wetlands across Aotearoa.
At INC, we’re proud to stand behind this kaupapa. Our role was producing the posters and booklets that help the film travel further, spark kōrero, and inspire communities to take action. But more importantly, we back the vision: reconnecting with whenua and building resilience for people and the planet.This is mahi we deeply believe in, and we’re honoured to have played a small part in sharing it.

The intention of this project is to further strengthen the connectivity between all sub-groups of Aotearoa NZ’s Queer and Gender Diverse community, impacting conversation and relationships and creating a shared movement of solidarity for the future growth of the broader community.

Waiheke Island: 800 years of the history of Te Motu Ārai Roa
-
Paul Monin is Waiheke’s best-known historian, and this is his most comprehensive history of the island yet. Published by Pendragon Press, the book traces Waiheke’s story from early human habitation and pā sites to modern island life, beautifully illustrated with images that capture its unique landscapes.
This edition utilised section-sewn binding to ensure durability and a premium feel, with head and tail bands adding a classic touch. The highlight of the production is the custom case wrap, scanned and printed specifically for this book, wrapping around one-third of the cover to give a distinctive, tactile feature that evokes Waiheke’s maritime history. Spot gloss UV on the front adds subtle emphasis to the cover design, enhancing the visual depth without overpowering the imagery. -

28 Days
-
28 days is a creative memoir that brings together the sharp, poetic voice of Janet Charman with the evocative, observational sketches of artist Elizabeth Anderson. In 28 pairings of image and text, the book moves through a cycle of emotional, social, and sexual reflections, snapshots of life in Aotearoa that are both personal and powerfully resonant.
The collaboration began during the Canal Road Arboretum protest in Avondale, where the two artists first met. The resulting work captures the quiet intimacy of everyday moments, conversations in cafés, internal monologues, and fleeting encounters, with depth, wit, and feeling.
Charman’s text draws on the feminist legacy of A Room of One’s Own, while Anderson’s artwork follows in the traditions of Japanese ukiyo-e and Parisian café scenes, together forming a rich portrait of contemporary life.

First Person
(Hard-Boiled)
-
First Person (Hard-Boiled) accompanies Simon Endres’ latest installation in a flood-damaged Ponsonby house. The project brings together life-sized sculptural figures, objects, architectural interventions and sound, forming what Endres describes as an “exploded self-portrait” and a proxy for our unsettled collective state of mind.
A newly published catalogue will be available alongside the exhibition, featuring commissioned writing and documentation of the work. Endres, who returned to Tāmaki Makaurau after two decades in New York, draws on identity politics, masculinity, social stratification and race with playful, materially inventive approaches across installation, photography, drawing and sculpture.

Salvation Mountain
-
Salvation Mountain rises from California’s desert like a technicolour volcano, an eruption of paint, straw, and faith. Built by Leonard Knight with no sponsors or grants, just brushes, hands, and thousands of gallons of donated paint, it’s a handmade monument to devotion. In Salvation Mountain, Simon Coley captures this collision of belief and creativity in vivid detail.

Enquiries to shaw_y@yahoo.co.nz
In a psychodrama group session the director will often say to the protagonist in the drama: Go ahead. Set out this place in time. Use people, use chairs, use props. The protagonist will begin to concretize a moment from their past. As the scene is created, the director will ask the protagonist to describe what is before them. The group is witness to a remembered moment being formed anew, a transient structure in which the group members may be invited to become people or animals or windows or trees.
Photographs of psychodrama are a novel type of memoir, recording depictions of family systems, but with the group taking up the roles of family members. In The Familial Gaze Nancy Miller speculates that family photographs serve to structure memories and relations:
“By taking the picture, parents consciously and unconsciously rehearse the drama of related identities. In a way the photo is the relation.”1
An audience who views these photographs of psychodrama won’t know whether the scenes portray places and moments in the protagonists’ lives, or whether they represent a surplus reality that has been explored in the psychodrama. Nevertheless, the concretisation of props and people produces a mapping of relationship. This map may represent what cannot be fully expressed, perhaps the beginnings of a new understanding emerging in the protagonist, of their family system and the social forces and intergenerational forces that press upon it.

A Potent Way of Talking
-
Colin McCahon’s eyes needed more than picturesque forest scenery. His peering out of the car window … was a vital part of his process of looking into ‘New Zealand’ … and figuring out how to show it to us. I have to acknowledge the many art-historical cartographers who have proved to be such able pathfinders and have preceded me in the endeavour of writing a book about Colin McCahon, in this case centring on just one painting.
The quote above is from environmentalist Geoff Park. His insights will be familiar to readers by the conclusion of A Potent Way of Talking: Colin McCahon and the Urewera triptych—as will those from scholars and curators Judith Binney, Gordon H. Brown, Wystan Curnow, Justin Paton, Laurence Simmons, Peter Simpson, Ngāhuia te Awekōtuku and Linda Tyler.
This project began in 2019, the anniversary of Colin McCahon’s birth, with a phone call from the then new kaitiaki of the Urewera triptych, and an invitation to write an essay that might illuminate the commissioning and creation of this striking canvas dating to 1975. From that point my research began, the wero (challenge) and kaupapa (theme) expanding as a fresh wave of publications, exhibitions and events landed, celebrating the life’s work of one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s great artists—each doing a bit more ‘figuring out’. I hope A Potent Way of Talking adds something to this discourse.

Interlaced: Animation & Textiles
-
Interlaced: Animation and Textiles explores the layered relationship between these two artforms. This lavishly illustrated book covers more than a century of media art, from early cinema experiments to contemporary algorithmically generated images. Braiding together analogue and digital media, Interlaced explores the enduring capacity of textile forms to make visible animating forces and to reanimate intergenerational memory. Published on the occasion of the groundbreaking exhibition at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre, the book features the work of twenty-four artists who embroider with projected light, quilt celluloid films and weave digital tapestries.
Curator and media scholar Alla Gadassik proposes a textile genealogy of animation tied to dancing veils, weaving samples and patterned barkcloth. The work of renowned filmmaker Len Lye serves as a connective thread in her account of textile traditions and forms that have shaped animation. Interlaced explores animated cloth as a technology of enchantment, reveals the fabric of film and digital imaging, contends with feminised labour sustaining textile and media production, and traces globally distinct lineages of animated textiles.
ALLA GADASSIK is a scholar, writer and curator of animation and contemporary media art. She is Associate Professor at Emily Carr University of Art + Design (Vancouver, Canada), where she founded the Animate Materials Workshop. The Animate Materials Workshop is dedicated to animation as a method of interdisciplinary material inquiry that bridges the arts and sciences. As International Film Curator in Residence at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre (2022–25), Alla authored the book Graphite: Animated Traces (2024) and developed Interlaced: Animation and Textiles, the large-scale group exhibition that occasioned this publication.

Frances Hodgkins: Creating Space
-
21 May - 25 June 2025
Frances Hodgkins is one of New Zealand’s defining figures of early modernism. A fiercely independent woman living at the turn of the 20th century, she dedicated her life to art – travelling frequently around Europe, looking at the world around her for inspiration. She developed an excellent reputation in the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and New Zealand, particularly for her skill with watercolour and gouache. While influential during her lifetime, Hodgkins’ stature has continued to grow since her death in 1947.
Hodgkins’ lifelong determination to make art, to continue challenging the conventions of her perceived style, drove her to embed herself in the very heart of the art world in the UK and gain the respect of her peers and art critics alike. Always struggling for money, she relied heavily on her family, and in particular, on her friends and patrons in the UK. They saw her rare talent and backed her drive to make new and challenging works. Just as her audience would come to terms with one body of work Hodgkins would push through a barrier and leap into a new, more challenging style. She was never complacent and was always excited about the next work she was going to create. Creating Space brings together a collection of works in graphite, watercolour, gouache and oil. Travel with Hodgkins from Dordrecht to Dorset, over forty years of her practice, and see her continually striving towards a new visual language.

The Financial Colonisation of Aotearoa
-
Author: Catherine Comyn
Finance was at the center of every stage of the colonization of Aotearoa, from the sale of Māori lands and the emigration of early colonists to the founding of settler nationhood and the enforcement of colonial governance.
Described as “Theoretically sophisticated, historically precise, and politically urgent” by Max Haiven, this book reveals the financial instruments and imperatives that drove the British colonial project in the nineteenth century. This is a history of the joint-stock company, a speculative London property market that romanticized the distant lands of indigenous peoples, and the calculated use of credit and taxation by the British to dispossess Māori of their land and subject them to colonial rule.
By illuminating the centrality of finance in the colonization of Aotearoa, this book not only reframes our understanding of this country’s history, but also the stakes of anticolonial struggle today.

A Bricks & Mortar Legacy
-
A Bricks & Mortar Legacy: Stories of Commercial Buildings in Te Awamutu 1890 – 1957
Authors: Alan Hall and Sandra Metcalfe
The Te Awamutu branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists have been involved in investigating the history of 32 buildings in Te Awamutu, some of which are now more than 100 years old.
The buildings, all constructed between 1890 and 1957, were selected because of their age and architecture – and in the case of the 86-year-old, Hodgson Motors building, because it faced demolition.
Information about each building was gathered from Waipa District Council’s archives, old newspapers, public consultations, and interviews, and images were sourced from photographic collections at Te Awamutu Museum.
Genealogy group members consider the many hours of research have been worth it because they are now able to provide the town with a comprehensive record of the commercial buildings and their history.

Basement Theatre
-
Basement Theatre has been the launchpad for Aotearoa’s most exciting new voices in the performing arts for the past 15 years.
As supporters ourselves, we were proud to help them create a personalised mailer inviting potential donors to join a network of visionary supporters. The invitation needed to feel warm and personal, while clearly laying out the opportunity to play a part in nurturing the next generation of artists.
Supported by One Design -
We produced a 3-panel folded DL invitation on sturdy Colorplan stock, with a floating personalised field for each prospective donor’s name. This touch of variable data printing made every invitation feel uniquely tailored, reinforcing the sense of personal connection at the heart of Basement Theatre’s campaign.

Depot Artspace

Beginning in Taiwan, where he studied graphic design, Ong has had a long and varied career. Upon moving to Aotearoa in 1991, he began practising ceramic sculpture, with which he had a successful career and exhibited throughout Australasia. In 2008 he suffered a wrist injury that inhibited him from making ceramics. Instead of ending his art career, he shifted his practice to pursue painting and now creates a new series every year.
Now in his late seventies, Ong continues to use his art to reflect his experience of migration and finding a new sense of place and home in Aotearoa. Ong balances visual themes common in Western surrealism and shan shui (a form of Chinese landscape painting), while capturing the unmistakable scenery of Aotearoa.
Anecdotage
The first 95 years
-
A richly illustrated collection of anecdotes from the life of a 95-year-old Waiheke novelist and adventurer. Margaret Mills threw snowballs at Ed Hillary; danced in the streets on VJ day; worked for a bookie; ran a Queenstown B&B; raised four children; crewed on the Rainbow Warrior (and escaped from the bomb with minutes to spare); rode her horse Lucky on a long peace march and sailed to Greenland. Her life has been buffeted by tragedy and lifted by romance and she’s learned a thing or two along the way.
The memoir of a funny and fearless New Zealand woman, and the personal record of nearly 100 years of New Zealand social history.
