For the RMIT Print Exchange Portfolio
Inkjet print on Canson Rag Photographique 310gsm, 20cm X 20cm
Printed by Arten
Edition of 40, with 10 artists’ proofs
Created especially for the RMIT University School of Art 2024 Print Exchange Folio, a digital collage looking up at several sleek Noddy terns (Anous stolidus) overhead. (The Noddy tern is also known as the Brown noddy and the Common noddy.) The title is drawn from their call type and the messages they send to each other and meanings they derive (as per Diane E. Riska, ‘An Analysis of Vocal Communication in the Adult Brown Noddy (Annous stolidus)’, The Auk, Vol. 103, No. 2 (April 1986), pp. 359–369, JSTOR, https://www.jstor.org/stable/4087089, accessed 30th July, 2024.). By the cover of light from a full moon, the Noddy tern is also known to forage for prey, in addition to throughout the day.

Created especially for the Australian Print Workshop’s 40x40 survey exhibition
40x40
APW, 210 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy
Saturday 1st of July– Saturday 26th of August, 2023
Ahead of the 2023–24 Grey-headed flying fox pup season, for our 40x40 print for The Australian Print Workshop (APW), we drew, upon the plate, with an embroidery needle, Remy and Pip, the first two orphaned pups we raised (in the 2021–22 season). We learned so much from them, as we charted their growth and development. We learned so much from Bev Brown and Paul Smith of Bat Rescue Bayside, as their foster carers of this threatened species. The following season, we raised several pups — Rudy, Albert, Errol, Iggy, Soot, Pelé, Fred, and Esme — and we are hopeful that many of them will be navigating to eucalypts in flower, like Remy and Pip, as we sleep.

APW 40x40 is a monumental survey of contemporary Australian printmaking bringing together 40 leading contemporary Australian artists who share an important and long-standing creative relationship with Australian Print Workshop.
To mark APW's 40th Anniversary (reached during COVID lockdown in 2021) each artist was invited to collaborate with APW Printers to create a new artwork in the print medium.
Showcasing the beauty and diversity of printmaking, each original print has been skilfully hand-printed by APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, in 2022–2023. Each work has been printed in a limited edition of 40 (plus proofs) on BFK 250gsm paper.
Image size: 40cm x 32cm.
Paper size: 52cm x 38cm.
Ten impressions from each edition have been collated and are presented as a boxed set containing the collection of prints, a title page and colophon.

Created especially for Whereabouts: A print exchange folio and exhibition project curated by Rona Green
Whereabouts
Art Gallery of Ballarat, 40 Lydiard Street, N, Ballarat
Friday 8th of November, 2023 – Saturday 4th of February, 2024
We invite you to listen for the rustle of activity in the velvet light of night.
An Eastern grass owl (Tyto longimembris) drawn by Silvester Diggles from ‘Ornithology of Australia. Volume 1, commences with Acquila and ends with Smicrornis’, ca. 1863–1875, and a Sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) drawn by James Stuart from ‘Natural history drawings of marsupials, reptiles and rodents’, ca. 1831–1841, might have collided before, but not tonight.
(Upon checking the proofs of our Whereabouts print for Rona Green’s Print Exchange Folio, we discovered we were a year early. The print was due on Monday 4th of April, 2023, not Monday 3rd April, 2022. An edition size of 57, our nocturnal creatures were exhibited ‘on time’ for the duration of Whereabouts at the Art Gallery of Ballarat, from the 8th of November, 2023, to the 4th of February, 2024.)

The word whereabouts refers to ‘the place where someone or something is’.
For this exciting project, leading Australian printmaker Rona Green invited a cross-section of emerging and established artists from across Victoria to participate in a group exhibition exploring their personal relationship to place, country and home.
The 56 artists involved use a variety of print media and work in a range of genres and styles. Each artist has created a new work in a standard size using the printmaking technique of their choice, responding to the theme.
Artists in the exhibition are Sue Anderson, Elizabeth Banfield, Matthew Clarke, Paul Compton, Miranda Costa, Fiona Davey, Rachel Derum, Mark Dustin, Grace Eve, Philip Faulks, Kevin Foley, Eleanor Franks, David Frazer, Tyronne Gietzmann, Silvi Glattauer, Jackie Gorring, Rona Green, Gracia Haby & Louise Jennison, Gregory Harrison, Bill Hay, Judy Horacek, Anita Iacovella, Kyoko Imazu, Deborah Klein, Gillian Kline, Anita Laurence, Dianne Longley, Michael Lye, Marion Manifold, Cassie May, Aaron McLoughlin, Glenn Morgan, Carnegie Muir, Angela Nagel, Billy Nye, James Pasakos, Jim Pavlidis, Catherine Pilgrim, Michael Reynolds, Cathy Ronalds, David Rosengrave, John Ryrie, Libby Schreiber, Gwen Scott, Heather Shimmen, Glen Smith, Ruth Stanton, Neale Stratford, Sophia Szilagyi, Helen Timbury, Clayton Tremlett, Peter Ward, Deborah Williams, Joel Wolter and Jessi Wong.
The Gallery acknowledges the generosity of all the artists in donating print number 57/57 from each edition to the Gallery Collection.

Whereabouts — the place where someone or something is.
This exhibition includes work by 56 emerging and established Victorian artists who were invited by leading Australian printmaker, Rona Green, to respond to the word ‘whereabouts’ in any way that resonated with them. The artists have depicted real and imagined places in the built or natural environment and explore concepts relating to memory, history and family.
Each artist has created a new work in a range of genres and styles to a standard size (380 x 280mm) using their printmaking technique of choice including etching, lino and woodcut, lithography and digital media.
