Description

The fifth in the ground-breaking krero series conceived and edited by Lloyd Jones, Little Doomsdays is another rich collaboration between an artist and a writer. This time legendary musician and painter Phil Dadson responds to a wildly innovative text thats steeped in te ao Mori by Ngi Tahu writer Nic Low. Together they play with the notion of ark and arc in a manner that is at once beguiling and challenging.
