Unbound - Stories and Poems of New Zealand

In 2020 I was commissioned to create a colleciton of short fiction and poetry to accompany Lyzadie Design Studio as part of their exhibit at the Milan International Furniture Fair. For the ReLeathered Collection, they asked me to create the stories of travelers who may have worn the belts that form the upholstery of the collection. Imagined journeys, dreamed up lives.

Shortlisted for Sunday Star Times National Short Story Competition 2013
