Hannah Joynt and Gavin O’Brien are two lecturers from the Otago Polytechnic Te Maru Pūmanawa College of Creative Practice and Enterprise. Together they developed three reproducible Kiwiana-like artworks based on the 1970’s New Zealand stamp series by Enid Hunter which feature native moths and butterflies.
Flutter celebrates these iconic articles of New Zealand design and reflects on the dwindling hobby of stamp collecting, but also directly engages and contributes to environmental conservation efforts around our native moths and butterflies.
