Forget the Southern Alps in winter. A new book from Banks Peninsula-based author, writer and filmmaker Matt Vance focuses on New Zealand's everyday - or perhaps less interesting - landscapes.
Matt's book, Innerland: A journey through the everyday landscape of New Zealand, combines essay and memoir to highlight the ordinary - or run of the mill.
Matt Vance is Banks Peninsula-based and has bylines in New Zealand Listener, North & South, and 1964 Magazine. He says landscapes can be both real and imagined.
Some landscapes, he says, have a personal resonance to individuals thanks to personal experience.
Whereas others, because of our common DNA as human beings, have a collective appeal. Matt Vance joins Kathryn Ryan to explain more.
