ILLUSTRATE COLLABORATE

22 September - 11 November 2012 | Vector Gallery

Combine two illustrators, an author and a game inventor and the result is an elegantly depicted children's picture book and an innovative environmentally conscious card game for all ages.

This exhibition features the work of illustrators Margaret Tolland and Morgan Rothwell. Margaret Tolland and Gay Hay come together to produce Fantail's Quilt, a sumptuous new picture book that tells a classic indigenous story about a fantail, a rat, a morepork and the New Zealand bush.

Morgan Rothwell and Jil Hemming combine talents to present Cloak of Protection, the Game. An educational card game where students soon learn by experience, just how quickly our birds can disappear. They gain an appreciation of the conservation efforts that New Zealanders must use to keep predators at bay.
