We are besotted with paper for its adaptable, foldable, cut-able, concealable, revealing nature. In our artists' books, prints, zines, drawings, and collages, we use an armoury of play, humour, and perhaps the poetic too, to lure you closer. The animal is oft present and easily detectable, the centre of our paper stage. Hard to miss, over here and over there, the animal runs up hills, scales rooftops, and sometimes appears to take flight. Gliding through a scene it is too large to be contained within or perhaps too manmade to call home, that it has a tail or feathers or furred muzzle is not solely why its form appears. For us, the animal is there to question our very behaviour, those moral principles one governs the self by, and to explore our relationship with the natural world. The words of Gogol whisper in the ear, "the longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes". And thus, we leave our scenes open-ended, inviting you to ponder and perhaps find that things are not always as they first appear.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, we work from home. More often than not, we collaborate.

We hope you enjoy what you find here and we thank-you for stopping by.

Yours in paper roll,
Gracia & Louise
