SOOTHING A RUMPLE

Recently landed: Soothing a rumple

Before the library was officially open to the public, we tiptoed into the dome, with Sarah Haselton and Albertine Hamilton, and, over talk of Brockhoff Biscuits and horology, we restored to order our Looped display in the dais. With a reprinted collage base and a reprinted and bound edition of our artists’ book, Disrupted and rumpled (2017), we rewound the clock and slid, unfurled, measured, pinned, and polished until things looked as they’d previously done. It is wonderful to have the installation complete once more, as it comes up to its tenth year.

Continuing reading on Marginalia.

You can see Looped, comprised of five artists’ books, until the tail end of February, 2027, in the exquisite embrace of State Library Victoria’s dome.

A decade! This seems a more fitting finale.
