High Wire

High Wire brings together Booker finalist writer Lloyd Jones and artist Euan Macleod.

It is the first of a series of picture books written and made for grownups and designed to showcase leading New Zealand writers and artists working together in a collaborative and dynamic way.

In High Wire the narrators playfully set out across the Tasman, literally on a high wire.

Macleods striking drawings explore notions of home, and depict homeward thoughts and dreams.

High Wire also enters a metaphysical place where art is made, a place where any ambitious art-making enterprise requires its participants to hold their nerve and not look down.

Its a beautifully considered small book which richly rewards the reader and stretches the notion of what the book can do.
