In Look this way, a 2008 Montana New Zealand Book Awards finalist, Sally Blundell asked 17 New Zealand writers to discuss a New Zealand artist of their choice. Through anecdote, memory, opinion, perceptive curiosity and observation, the writers personalise and privatise the space between an art work and its interpreter. They capture the very personal sense of intrigue inspired by a body of work and the variable ways in which a work of art can play on the senses, the imagination and the memory of the viewer.

Painter Jacqueline Fahey, comic artist Barry Linton, mixed media artist Lily Laita from the artists, and graphic novelist Dylan Horrocks and musician/author Chris Knox for the writers, gather to talk about what it was like to take part in this remarkable book celebrating the shared insight, the shared perspective and the shared dialogue in that personal, shifting space between the viewer and the viewed.
