MELT WITHIN

DANCE
Written by Gracia Haby
 

Recently landed: Melt within

In light of Anna Karenina opening in Sydney on the 5th of April, why not head to a new article on Marginalia and revisit two recent Melbourne performances by The Australia Ballet, drawn up especially for Fjord Review.

Years ago, I made an indent on the page of my copy of Anna Karenina and dog-eared the page for my future self: make your “heart contract with happiness” and “melt within.” This new work, years later, did just that.

I have been collaborating with Louise Jennison since 1999, making artists’ books, collages, large-scale installations, prints, drawings, zines, and various tales. Besotted still, it appears, with paper for its adaptable, concealable, revealing nature, we use an armoury of play, the poetic and familiar too, with the intention of luring you into our A(rtists’ books) to Z(ines).

As artists and wildlife carers, our practice frequently concerns the natural world, addressing themes of conservation and biodiversity. Our home-based studio is also home to our wildlife shelter, Tiny but Wild.

I collage with words about dance for Fjord Review.
