Artist Feature 008: Lucas Cantlon. Pōneke-based photographer, producer and director, Lucas works across documentary, live production, radio, music and photography, moving between the crew and the stage often enough that the two stop being separate positions. They have a keen eye for the vernacular, and photographs that capture the feeling of a time and place. We discussed what a performance looks like from behind the camera, what humour can say that sincerity can't, and why Wellington is far from dead.

$18.3 million went into regional arts organisations over three years. How much reached artists? Nobody knows. The reporting framework doesn't ask.

An open-call stamp issue for emerging New Zealand artists, built around one idea: a stamp worthy of the letters people actually keep. Four artists, four stamps, a limited print release, and a bespoke frame whose scalloped edge echoes the perforation of a stamp. NZ Post passed — their programme is theme-led and works with designers tied to each theme, which is fair enough. But the concept stands on its own, so here it is. The frame isn't fully developed, but is my favourite part.

Artist Feature 004: Fletcher McClelland. Ōtautahi-based photographer Fletcher McClelland traces the built environment's impact on landscape and waterways, moving between film, camera-less photography, and long exposures that expose more noise than image. We discussed sequencing, leaving the camera behind, and what it means to photograph a place "from" the environment rather than "of" it.
