TWO ZINES, 2025
1/ Gracia Haby & Louise Jennison
Juniper & the Berries
2025
Indigo Digital print zine
Edition of 100
A 21.5cm X 21.5cm, Turkish Map Fold zine used to create a sculptural book form from a single piece of paper. As you open the zine, the piece of paper unfolds so you can see the entire sheet. Printed with Indigo Digital White on 140gsm Earl Black stock.
Juniper & the Berries was created especially for Sticky Institute’s 2025 Festival of the Photocopier, where it was released into the wild from our stall on Sunday, the second day of the two-day bumper fair. The zine was inspired by our recent Wildlife Victoria rescue and the subsequent care of Juniper, the Ringtail possum, and her three ‘berry’-joeys.
We look at the connecting canopies, the overhead powerlines, the means of getting from place to place in the arboreal world. Above our heads, another landscape. Side by side, a secret world we could easily miss, if we failed to read the signs.

Indigo Digital print zine (coming soon)
Edition of 75
Collage created for World Book Night (WBN) United Artists 2025 — Tell The Trees (Listen to the Trees)
Bower Ashton Library, University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol, UK
Thursday 3rd of April – Wednesday 30th of July 2025
WBN 2025 is organised by Sarah Bodman and Linda Parr with significant book recommendations from Rachel Marsh and input from Nancy Campbell.
Especially for World Book Night, we have created (Imagined) field notes, a single-sided A4 sized celebration of trees in the form of a zine that can be printed, folded, and cut upon receipt, and read.
When printed and folded, the zine is 10.5cm (h) by 7.5cm (w), though, that said, it needs to open to read the beneath the canopy text. It will be shown in a forest of trees as part of an exhibition at Bower Ashton Library, UWE Bristol, UK, from Thursday 3rd of April, 2025.
(Imagined) field notes, in addition to being printed out as part of World Book Night 2025, will also be made into a zine of the same name, especially for the 2025 NGV Melbourne Art Book Fair.

UNDERSTORY
MAKING A TREE HOLLOW FROM A LUNAR CRATER
THREE DAYS IN THE GREAT HALL
Tell The Trees (Listen to the Trees)
WBN United Artists invited responses to The Overstory by Richard Powers for an exhibition and mail art swap at Bower Ashton Library, Bristol, UK. We received over 200 works by artists from countries around the world including: Australia, Austria, Belarus, Brazil, Canada, China, Cyprus, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, UK, USA.
Responses to the book developed our overarching theme — to look after our environment, listen to it and take care of it. Artists works have been created in praise of particular trees or forests and to campaigners and activists who work to protect them and engage others with caring for the environment. Many recalled their experiences of standing with trees and experiencing the peace of nature, being grateful for the restful space they provide.
Contributors celebrated the bounties received from trees as fruit bearers: Apple, Blackthorn, Chestnut and Quince. Native species are celebrated from Aotearoa and Wollemia trees in New Zealand to Ash trees in the UK, a Trembling Aspen near Banff, Alberta; a Tulip Poplar in Bucks County, Pennsylvania; a Mimosa tree in Winchester, UK. Works were made in response to Pine Trees ancient and new, Oak and Maple trees in New York state and across England and Wales, an ancient Ash tree in Yorkshire and Oak Tree in Greenwich Park, portraits of trees in Victoria Park, London, Cornish Magnolias announcing the coming of Spring, Nahua and Purépecha traditions, as well as the trees of their places of origin in Mexican states such as Guerrero, Guanajuato, and Michoacán in Mexico.
National parks, woods and forests that have offered shelter and space included: Highgate Woods and Wimbledon common in London; Kensington Gardens in Philadelphia, USA; Bingley valley in West Yorkshire; the Langdale valley, Cumbria; New South Wales, Australia; Speyside and Cairngorms National Park, Scotland; the Amazon rainforest, Brazil; the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, Woodstock, Vermont, USA; the Lucombe Oak tree in Widey Woods, Plymouth UK; the Haagse Bos, Netherlands (a zine printed by Ton Martens on the Korrex proof press at the Huis van het Boek).
