Paper Boats in New Zealand.

Made By Lynn Taylor

" Inspired by the way Robert Dick contained his moss samples - combined with thinking how people came to N Z by sea I spent a day making paper boats - folding them after making etching plates and printing the paper with a 1879 map of Dunedin harbour and the Matthew's Westland passanger ticket. I used rice paper for transparency, as found the boats show both sides of the paper, so some text runs in reverse. My intent is to float these little boats in the sea and take a photo of them for the diary project. Maybe I will have to wax them to make them a bit more sea worthy? So at least I have time to go click with the camera."
