From ancient whatu kākahu to contemporary installation art, Frances Hodgkins to Merata Mita, Fiona Clark to Mataaho Collective, Sight Lines tells the story of art made by women in Aotearoa. With more than 150 striking images and essays by Chloe Cull, Ngarino Ellis, Ioana Gordon-Smith, Rangimarie Sophie Jolley, Lana Lopesi, Hanahiva Rose, Huhana Smith and Megan Tamati-Quennell alongside the author, Sight Lines is a bold new account of art-making in Aotearoa through 35 extraordinary women artists.

“Sight Lines is a material object in its own right. The scale and feel of the book is more serious art-historical companion piece than lush coffee table book. Bright pops of colour and shifting fonts are used to mark transitions between texts and authors. Artworks are given space, either half- or full-page spreads. They punctuate the texts, but also offer a flow of their own. These images are here to do work.” — Art New Zealand
