CRAFTING FANTASY

an exhibition on world building and writing

How do writers write? This exhibition presents artefacts from the writing practice of five Australian fantasy authors:

Danielle Wood

Kim Wilkins

Isobelle Carmody

Tansy Rayner Roberts

Cary Lenehan

with the artwork of Kathleen Jennings

This exhibition plays on ideals of gothic fairy tales and lost or forgotten libraries.

Each author was asked to provide artifacts and ephemera from their writing practice - from Wood’s collection of “Little Red Riding Hood” lore, to Lenehan’s hand drawn maps and botanical illustrations, and Carmody’s menagerie of puppets - which serve as touchstones and talismans on their writing journey.
