COMMISSIONS AND WILDLIFE FOSTER CARE REALLY DO GO PAW IN PAW

 

Recently landed: Commissions and wildlife foster care really do go paw in paw

A closer look at two recent commissions, and one still very much in progress, all to the backcloth of wildlife foster care.

First up, four collages for four performances, created for Genesis Baroque’s 2023 season.

Continuing reading on Marginalia.

Since creating the artwork for Melbourne Chamber Orchestra’s 2021 season, we were commissioned to create the artwork and design for MCO’s first recording, Poems & Romances.

Within the digital collage, you can see curls of yellow tulip petals (by Cornelis van Noorde, 1741 – 1795), a gathering of treetops from several compositions, a swirl of water, but it could equally be clouds, such is the inkblot, and the luminous full moon (as harnessed by Warren de la Rue) from The moon : considered as a planet, a world, and a satellite (by James Nasmyth, 1874), bring you Beethoven, Chausson, and Crellin.

It is always a delight (and a sweet relief) holding the printed work in hand (pictured here alongside Monty), and this proved the rule true.

Please head over to MCO to order a copy and see and, more importantly, hear for yourself.

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.
