Beneath the screen of closed eyelids (Port-Said)

2012

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

 
 
 

Made especially for and exhibited as part of Charms of the Gloaming (2012), this collaborative hand-bound concertina artists’ book features twelve hand-coloured scenic views of Port-Said each with collage elements.

In edition to existing as an original artists’ book, before and after details have been collated into a zine of same title. Beneath the screen of closed eyelids (Port Said), the zine, shows the process behind the hand-coloured landscapes and the collage editions.

This artists’ book is now 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.
