A curl of sleep, easily woken, nothing and no-one passes Olive undetected. #Olive #luminous #likeapearl #thisiswinter #catsofinstagram
1. Post office 2. @rmit_art office 3. Library (by proxy) 4. Jethro and Tully’s office (Lottie’s mid morning engagements, with special paw shakes and tail wags to @hughesbronwyn, @bold.smith, and @robinkingston_.) #Lottie #rescuedog #thisiswinter #thisisthursday #dogsofinstagram
Whether with a white cat upon your shoulder or a life barely begun, Death comes for all of us. Death (performed by Bernhard Goetzke), weary Death, with cheekbones like cliffs; Death, weary Death, with a face like a Kirchner woodcut, direct and authentic. There’s no cheating the inevitable, and it isn’t fair. Fair isn’t a part of their timeless task. All the same, pleads Lil Dagover, verse after verse, love can conquer death. Ah, youth, and it’s follies. Death, weary Death, coming for us all. Mind your candle. On a side note, Fritz Lang’s ‘Destiny’ (1921 English title release for ‘Der Müde Tod’ (‘The Weary Death’)), filmed in the aftermath of the Great War, sports a handsome cast of animals, from a goose in a basket, a quizzical bird in an apothecary, an owl by the cemetery walls, two round pigs and a magical white horse in Middle Kingdom, and a litter of kittens in a public house named The Golden Unicorn. (Melbourne Cinémathèque, @acmionline) #Destiny #FritzLang #LilDagover #DerMüdeTod #melbournecinémathèque
A cat awaits their portrait, Eugène Delacroix. (Spotted on the way to the post office in Clifton Hill. Thank-you for all your orders. Our sale continues until the 2nd of August. Simply enter the code ALBATROSS for 40%-off everything in our online store. Please see link in bio. gracialouise.bigcartel.com ✨) #cats #notmycat #thisiswinter #catsofinstagram #EugèneDelacroix
Just before the sky greyed over and the rain fell, the copper on our six copper plates twinkled. ‘We carried these plates halfway around the world and back again before drawing on them’ is almost ready. #WIP #blackswan #bumblebee #theworkingtable #FrenchConnections
Pretty sure this #notmycat is a ‘jellicle’ cat, one of a merry band who come out at night to dance and ‘caterwaul’. ‘As knockabout clown, quick-change comedians, tight-rope walkers and acrobats They had extensive reputation.’ (Rolling in Clifton Hill, telling Lottie this patch was theirs, move on, and leaving much of their fur upon my ankles.) #cats #TSEliot #jelliclecats #TSEliotcats #catsihavedancedwith
In readiness for a collage 16-metres in length, scanning begins with a big stack of books borrowed from RMIT library. (Breaking the library bag for our exhibition day, ‘Ripples in the Open’, Artspace at Realm, in November. This year! *fastens skates*) #WIP #collage #scanning #RMITlibrary #digitalcollage
From French Connections to installing our commissioned work, ‘A Weight of Albatross’, in the atrium at Realm, things have been especially sweet. To celebrate all things being so, we are offering 40% off everything in our online store from now until the 2nd of August, 2018 (when we will disappear into the Melbourne International Film Festival with the intention of seeing some 64 films). Simply type in the code ALBATROSS when prompted. (gracialouise.bigcartel.com; LINK in BIO) And head to Marginalia (graciahaby.com) to see more of mint-green Lille. #thankyou #goodnews #MIFF2018 #FrenchConnections #AWeightofAlbatross
Handsome ‘Monty’ (No. 898870) with the pea-green eyes is looking for a forever home with honey wrapped up in five pound note. He is fond of dogs, and possibly owls, you’d have to ask, and longs to dance by the light of the moon. He has mastered the art of the head boop, and you can meet him at the RSPCA East Burwood shelter. #cats #blackcats #RSPCAvic #adoptsontshop #catsofinstagram #blackandwhitecats
Elliot in Montmartre, and Sammy in Amsterdam. Closer to home, Bish in North Fitzroy. Diego in Carlton, and Spike in Collingwood. Still, as photos on our iPhone. Hopefully, reunited with their owners. Hopefully, missing no longer. #lost #missing #hopeful #missingpets #lostpetposters #missingpetposters
Bird prints in the sand, at low tide, and Lottie’s markings glow like copper. #Lottie #birdprints #thisiswinter #onthebeach #thisissaturday
Yes, we did indeed book sixty-four films, Lottie. #MIFF2018 #thisiswinter #melbfilmfest #inthemetropolis #dogsofinstagram
Seeking softer couch with head support. (This one-and-a-half year old, champagne coloured sweetheart, at the #RSPCA East Burwood shelter, is ‘Champaggin’ (No. 898709). You can call in to meet him or look up his details on the RSPCA Victoria site under adoption listings.) #cats #RSPCAvic #smoocher #adoptdontshop #catsofinstagram @rspcavictoria, @rspcaaustralia
Returning to Realm, it feels as though our birds have always been skimming currents in the library, and yet they’ve only been up three weeks. #birds #Realm #nature #plastic #albatross #plasticawareness #AWeightofAlbatross
unfurl verb past tense: unfurled; past participle: unfurled make or become spread out from a rolled or folded state, especially in order to be open to a good day in the studio. "earlier, unfurling the limbs, disentangling the mind, and resisting the comfort of picking the same spot in the room at @barrebody Fitzroy” #barre #unwind #unfurling #goodstart #mindfultransformation
We may have shambled in to #melbournecinémathèque like the weary doorman, heads heavy, feeling unkempt, but we left in the spirit of the epilogue, being the authors of our own (long) days. To tiramisu with a long spoon, Manny; kindness, and sharing your coins with the true and the good and the needy, Jannings. Upon returning home, we circled our #MIFF2018 guides by the heater and booked 64 films. “That’s how it could have happened.” To quite improbable epilogues, one and all, lurching to delirium on a Wednesday eve. (‘The Last Laugh’, F.W. Murnau, 1924) #silentfilm #CarlMayer #KarlFreund #EmilJannings #TheLastLaugh #DerletzteMann
On #theworkingtable, Josephine’s swan steps out of the #copper in the winter light. As Louise begins work on the bee, in the lower right panel, Olive sits on her lap, purring and trilling, and blowing occasional bubbles. Olive loves the still action of Louise as she draws on the plates. And I like peeping in on this golden studio meditation. #WIP #swan #blackswan #PawPadPath #studioassistant
Little corgi with Fu Dog aspirations. #onfoot #FuDog #fengshui #thisiswinter #ImperialGuardianLions
The space between our understanding of the world and how a bird (in a painting) sees the world is vast, but this is what we were thinking, dreaming, scratching, sniffing, living as we worked on ‘Paw Pad Path’. The interconnectedness of things! And until Sunday the 19th of August, 2018, you can see ‘Paw Pad Path’ at the 2018 Libris Awards: Australian Artists' Book Prize exhibition at Artspace Mackay (Civic Centre Precinct, Gordon Street, Queensland). ‘Paw Pad Path’ is a unique state piece, however you can pick up a copy of it as a stapled zine through our online store. gracialouise.bigcartel.com/product/zine-paw-pad-path #nature #collage #umwelt #exhibition #artistsbook #PawPadPath
