Yours, a jack-in-the-box confined no longer...

July 3, 2013 Gracia Louise

Recently landed: Yours, a jack-in-the-box confined no longer.., a new post on High Up in the Trees (by Gracia)

Gracia Haby, And lo! she leaps, 2012, postcard collage

Starting 2019 with Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘The Favourite’. Starting it right, film wise, with intensity (such sound!), harpsichord, and a brilliant dance sequence. With ‘This Mud Stinks’, ‘I Dreamt I Stabbed You in the Eye’, and other chapters. With power and distortion of the frame to echo the mind, restrictions and cruelty. With an unflawed brace-race of ducks and a confinement of rabbits in a bedroom chamber. At some point, we are all either the rabbit pierced beneath the sharp heel of a shoe or the wearer of the shoe. Such Schubert and sadness. Such (is life) games. “You look like a badger”. What’s not to love?

A limited edition compilation set of all our recent zines draws nearer. The set will include an edition of ‘Limbed’, ‘Winged’, ‘Dove, love, wash’, ‘Duck in, duck out’, ‘Flippered and flightless’, ‘Pattern’, ‘Take a lesson from the ground’, ‘Round, circle, dot’, ‘Seasonal museum sketches (autumn)’, and ‘It was a familiar pattern’ from 2017. And ‘Your gelatine silver print, in the shape of the full moon’, ‘Paw Pad Path’, ‘Looped’, ‘I think all the world is falling’, ‘No longer six feet under’, ‘Disrupted and rumpled’, ‘Dim wood, spark bright’, and ‘A warmed pebble in my hand’ from 2018. One atop the other, from the largest to the smallest, what a happy squeeze they will be.

Assembling five limited edition zine box sets, on #theworkingtable. Outside, the doves peck-peck at the seed in their hanging feeder, in the front garden. Every so often, Lottie and Leonard race at the doves weaving through the violets in search of fallen seed. They get close and shy away, and the doves appear to look at them as if to say, ‘told you so’. 🕊

Still, shifting, stirring, moving from one space to the next. Even taxidermied specimens (from the collection of Museums Victoria), if you wink. Animate. Animated. Animal. Once more, fluttering at ArtSpace, Realm. (Lovely to be able to share this with you today, @georgiacribb, Lola, and @jillkellett. XO)

Thank-you to all of today’s zine workshop participants who threw their all in to cutting out polar bears, pikas, nests, and text. It was an absolute pleasure. Thank-you.

In 2009, we blogged ‘High Up in the Trees’ and ‘Elsewhere’ (2006 – 2016). In 2009, the file sizes we posted were smaller (612 px X 450 px). In 2009, we exhibited ‘A key to help make your own world visible’ at Craft Victoria (@craftvictoria, October – November 2009). Today, in 2019, we are still posting (on Instagram and to ‘Marginalia’), sharing our work from idea to outcome, side by side, and in the company of animals. (Thank-you Susan Millard for the photo of us before our ‘Ripples in the Open’, November 2018 – January 2019) In 2019, we are still on the same path, but different; “you cannot step twice on the same asphalt” (Joseph Brodsky). We are thankful to share the experience with you. Has it really been that long?

Jazz hands, once more, before the floral ‘murial’. Thank-you to all our friends and family who’ve popped along to see ‘Ripples in the Open’ at ArtSpace. It means so very much to us. Thanks @descowley and Susan for wending your way to Ringwood tonight.

Small mock-ups for a printed box to house a set of all 2017 – 2018 zine titles. Making the image appear continuous (with the wraparound box and inside tray lining up) is proving a workout for the grey matter, but we’ll get there.
