About The Author

Julieanna Preston

Julieanna Preston’s transdisciplinary creative practice research is concerned with the agency and ethics of materiality, its relation to place, ecology and ways of being in the world. Her practice engages place-responsive live art performance, vocalisation, and performance writing. She currently teaches and supervises postgraduate students across art, design and architecture in Aotearoa NZ.

Anna Brown is a New Zealand-based designer, researcher and educator. She is Professor of Design and Public Good at Massey University’s College of Creative Arts. She works with visual artists and curators to investigate through form, materials and typography how the vehicle of the book can amplify the content it contains.
