With you my destiny I’d steal (Venezia)

Artists’ book, unique state, featuring collage elements and pencil

 
 
 

Through the streets of Copenhagen swim trout-perch, bummalow, and killer whales. Eyes up! Look sharp!

Exhibited as part of By This Unwinking Night (2012) and as one of many Charms of the Gloaming (2012), this artists’ book is a horizontal concertina featuring six collaged scenic views of the familiar and the unexpected beneath a sky bright and clear.

This artists’ book is in the collection of the State Library of NSW.

To spend a quiet day (Interlaken Berner Oberland)
2012

Artists’ book, unique state, featuring collage elements and pencil

 
 
 

Made especially for and exhibited as part of Charms of the Gloaming (2012), this concertina artists’ book features twelve scenic views, with collaged elements, of a place not seen with own eyes and thus only imagined. As any form of guide book, this is not a trusted source to be. (Will happily be proven wrong, explorer dear.)

This artists’ book is in the collection of the State Library of NSW.

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.
