MAKING A TREE HOLLOW FROM A LUNAR CRATER

Recently landed: Making a tree hollow from a lunar crater

In what proved a test of memory, on Sunday we recounted to those who passed our table the birds within a Brilliant Gathering, from the familiar Regent Honeyeater and a pair of Diamond Firetails to the Scarlet Robin mid-call on the cover. The snails by Anselmus Boëtius de Boodt from the album Fish, Shells and Insects, 1596–1610, and an engraving of a skeleton in repose by Hendrick Hondius, after Teodoro Filippo di Liagno, from 1642, in Hold, proved harder to recall. We pointed out the NASA Washington, D.C. Lunar crater, 1969, near the foyer doorway we have fashioned into a tree hollow, and the upturned early 20th century glass Snuff bottle from China we have repurposed as a pollen-laden blossom within The remaking of things.

Continuing reading on Marginalia.

For those of you who couldn’t make it to either of the weekend fairs, editions of our artists’ books and zines can always be found listed in our online store.

Thanks also to Molly May for inviting us, and Lottie too, upon special request, to talk all things wildlife foster care, Bat Rescue Bayside, and our NGV collage commission, The remaking of things, for the Grey-headed flying fox in gallery and book form on The After Show (after Molly’s Blooming Hour ) on local radio, 88.3 Southern FM.
