Signed Hardcover Edition • "The Primordials"

"The Primordials" is the first published book from Carolin's mythical world, The Islands of Niljora, coinciding with Carolin's exhibition "Worlds", in her ancestral home of New Zealand.
 
The book presents a selection of 18 full page drawings and paintings accompanied by poems, created between 2013-2015 and featured in the exhibition. The book whispers secrets of her mythological world - the world that inspires the rich and symbolic narratives woven into all of her works. Here we enter a land where myth, classical tale, and the human story entwines with the modern world.​
 
The book was purchased for the permanent and heritage collections of New Zealand's National Libraries and Otago University. The first edition is a one-off printing and meticulously bound by hand.
