We’re thrilled to be featured in The Two of Us, in The Good Weekend. If you missed the print copy you can read online.

‘We’re so intermeshed’: The art of sharing clothes, shoes — and even a phone
Artists Louise Jennison and Gracia Haby, both 47, share everything: their art making, their wildlife foster care, even their shoes and mobile phones. In fact, they’ve rarely spent a day apart in 24 years.

 

Artists Louise Jennison and Gracia Haby, both 47, who are also wildlife foster carers, share everything: ⁠

"We finish each other’s sentences,” says Gracia. ⁠
⁠
“We share the same Instagram account, (@gracialouise), the same shoes. We share clothes and have similar tastes, except Louise wears dresses and you’ll never see me in a dress. She loves the freedom of a dress but, to me, a dress is the complete opposite. We have one mobile phone, partly for financial reasons so we could get a good one for our work, but also it just makes sense because we’re nearly always together.”

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.
