THERE BE BEETLES, AND THERE BE POSSUMS

 

Recently landed: There be beetles, and there be possums

At pace, things continue, as Restoring corridors, and other tales, shimmy their way, score by fold, closer to the finish line. From the hand-cutting of pop-up moths within Bilateral Symmetry to the accordion-folding of avian postcards within Looking for green, remaining hopeful, the three new artists’ books we are working on simultaneously are melding into a colourful chorus line of Chestnut-crowned warblers avoiding the dab of a brush, Robert Hooke’s flea “all over adorned with a curiously polish’d suit of sable Armour, neatly joined” and about to leap, and Burrowing bettongs, if you’ve a keen eye and the patience to remain quite still.

Continuing reading on Marginalia.

Gracia Haby & Louise Jennison, Bilateral Symmetry (detail), 2024, artists’ book

 
 
Gracia Haby

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.
