Here are four final pieces by my RMIT (@rmit_art) Artists’ Book students. It was a joy to teach Jazmina’s unit in the printmaking department. A delight to help the students to see but a few magical possibilities of the book. There were many wonderful pieces created, from meticulous retchoso notebooks, complete with folding instructions and stitching steps, to zines that perhaps one day you will see unfurling with flair at the Sticky Institute zine fair. Pictured here, a stab bound, found material artists’ book by Amber Ho Yee Tang, and three, multiple signature, coptic stitch artists’ books by Zoe Woebken, Etienne Mantelli, and Nikolina Brown.

We are thrilled to announce that the Art Gallery of Ballarat has recently acquired three of our ‘Through a glass eye’ French Connections prints created with the Australian Print Workshop. ‘Contemplating marble, stucco, velvet, and gilding’, ‘Grande Perspective in the memory of a swan’ (pictured), and ‘Halfway around the world and back again’ are, we believe, currently on display at the Art Gallery of Ballarat, as part of ‘Dark Horse: Wild Beasts and Curious Creatures’. We’ll have to make a return visit. 🐨 ‘Dark Horse: Wild Beasts and Curious Creatures’ Until Sunday 23rd of February, 2020 Art Gallery of Ballarat (@artgalbal) 40 Lydiard Street North, Ballarat Open daily 10 am – 5 pm By way of celebration, we are offering 25% off all orders through our online store (please see link in bio).

Last week, a park in the rain, looking at how people engaged with the unknown, used public space, while simultaneously considering “themes of hunting, conquest and military tradition”(‘Trophy’ synopsis). The area may have been cordoned off by way of a marquee, a safety-orange plastic delineator, and a couple of friendly Dancehouse members of staff, but people in a safe public place still functioned like people in a safe public space: dog walkers came and went, a couple of joggers too, and they became a part of the experience. Followed by Cindy Van Acker’s breathtaking, quivering, and beautiful ‘Solo Pieces’ as the sky turned pink. And tonight, swiss.style part II, for ‘Genetrix’ is an international collaboration between Victoria Chiu, Jozsef Trefeli, and Rudi Van Der Merwe; “three solos …. as an anthology of personal and problematic family histories from two generations ago, where each artist is confronted by information, stories, and memory” (‘Genetrix’ synopsis). Rain falls on queue. Brolly up! Solo-memories tink-tonk, plink-plonk call. ‘Quardle oodle ardle wardle doodle’ the magpies said.

Because in between work, there should always be time for reclining, laps, and a park galavant (the order of which is interchangeable, as is the cast), at the local park, Red-rumped parrots forage and flit, and dogwalkers follow their dogs. A Golden retriever rolls in the grass, and drags their belly on the ground in a crawl before rolling some more. Elsewhere, a Blue heeler carries a frisbee in its mouth. And Lottie makes a new friend. Wednesday, nicely. #today #wednesday #splishsplash #catsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram
From autumn in Giverny (on the camera roll, and uploaded to Marginalia) to spring in the Royal Botanic Gardens (as viewed walking around the tan before weaving through the gardens, because the wait list for barre was too long on a public holiday, and wasn’t that a good thing in the end), we are thinking about green spaces, bees, and restoration of all kinds. The rat colony have chewed at the hibiscus branches, and stripped all the leaves, and they’ve hollowed out the many Chinese jade plants. Our tiny garden is in need of some green thumb care. A haircut too. Perhaps this afternoon we will get around to planting the lavender and rosemary we purchased recently from the nursery. Apparently, the smell of both of these plants is unappealing to rats and possums so they will be less inclined to feast on the nearby plants. The lemon halves studded with cloves has worked for the flies in the kitchen, so hopefully this planting method will work for outside. Here’s to trying, and the joy of waking early on a public holiday and having a long, long day of it. #spring #onfoot #garden #autumn #Giverny #greenthumb #RoyalBotanicGardens
Near. Far. Not no. 60s cat. And last night’s ‘Trophy’ (@dancehouse.melb, Quarries Park, Clifton Hill). #far #near #onfoot #walking #notmycat #thisisspring #catsoffitzroynorth
“A site-specific performance on the themes of hunting, conquest and military tradition”. Outside. In the rain. Scheduled to proceed at Quarries Park, despite the wet weather. Recommended: “appropriate shoes and raincoats. Bring an umbrella”. Yes! Because it is swiss.style. Because, blue-baroque, you. Because it is Dancehouse (@dancehouse.melb). Brolly up! Followed by Cindy Van Acker’s ‘Solo Pieces’. Inside. Out of the rain. Image credit: Rudi van der Merwe, ‘Trophy’ Photo by Beatrix Gyenes #dance #swissstyle #dancehouse #CindyVanAcker #RudivanderMerwe
When the quick away-from-the-computer grocery dash on Halloween turns into something of a rescue mission, untangling bees that have become caught in giant artificial arachnid webs, and a series of Missing Cat and Lost Dog posters. #bees #onfoot #Halloween #thisisspring #savethebees

Fine company, from Saturday’s menagerie to Monday’s tailed coffee break on the front veranda. As the pets sun their bones, we are looking up natural ways to deter flies from the kitchen. Apparently, the smell of cloves stuck in a half of lemon dissuades them. They are not fans of lemongrass oil either. Together with the peppermint-soaked cloth for the Remy-rodents, our kitchen is set to be fragrant. Break over; back to it. #pets #home #inthegarden #coffeebreak #catsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram
‘Catch the 7:46am train departing from platform L, Gare de Lyon’ and other tales of late, posted to Marginalia (graciahaby.com), should you fancy a stroll. Or be in need of a diversion or a memory on a Sunday eve.

Four views, two moments, one morning. Arthur and Lottie rolling in the sun as we drank our coffee on the veranda. And “love, loss and death” in Manila, ‘David Griggs: Between Nature and Sin’ at Bunjil Place (@bunjil_place).(Congratulations @georgiacribb! Always glee to catch up with you.) “....in my studio there’s a balcony next to where I paint, and in the night with the lights on in the studio, if I go on the balcony to have a cigarette it’s like viewing the paintings through a window. Viewing the works from a dark spot and looking into the light of the studio somehow gives me hope. Through the darkness looking into the studio. ... Every time I paint I learn something new and even if I paint something that I have done before it’s never ever going to be the same. Sometimes I do small sketches, sort of like kids’ drawings, but it’s more of a way of trying to mock up the composition in my head before I attack the canvas, I like to work straight from my thoughts to the canvas, and once I have drawn things up in my mind, I go for it. The only way to paint is to have no fear of failure.” — #DavidGriggs #today #bunjilplace #thisisspring #catsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #bunjilplacegallery

A book of replanting begins. 🍃 “We now know that, alongside keeping fossil fuels in the ground, natural climate solutions — using the mass restoration of nature to draw down carbon from the air — offer perhaps the last remaining chance to prevent more than 1.5C, or even 2C, of global heating. Saving the remaining #rainforests and other rich #ecosystems, while restoring those we have lost, is not just a nice idea: our lives may depend on it.” (George Monbiot, ‘Rewilding will make Britain a rainforest nation again’, The Guardian, 25/09/2019) #Paris #trees #home #Arthur #replanting #ClimateCrisis #theworkingtable
