A pocket-sized watercoloured expanse to help you imagine if things were rewilded, and perhaps inspire you to make it so. Rewild was one of two new zines released into the wild at the 2020 NGV Melbourne Art Book Fair.
2/ Gracia Haby & Louise Jennison
Museum Sketches: Your Specimens Sing an Operatic Chorus
March, 2019
Digital print zine
Edition of 100
A 10.5cm X 10.5cm, 37 page colour zine with colour cover and a black spine.
A zine composed of pencil sketches drawn from skeletal and mounted specimens within the collections of the Musée Fragonard d’Alfort, and the Musee d’Histoire Naturelle de Lille (France, 2018, as part of French Connections), and the Melbourne Museum (2018–2019). Featuring predominately Australian animals and birds, including an Eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus), Fairy penguin (Eudyptula minor novaehollandiae), Honey possum (Tarisipes rostratus), Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) and a Southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus). Nose to soul, learning from the inside out just what it is we are looking at, each of the three museums feature on a different tint of paper.
With huge thanks to the Australian Print Workshop, this zine features photos taken in Paris, as part of the APW’s French Connections.
Museum Sketches: Your Specimens Sing an Operatic Chorus was released into the wild at the 2019 NGV Melbourne Art Book Fair.

Paint out
February, 2019
Digital print zine
Edition of 100
A 14.5cm X 19cm, 32 page colour zine with colour cover and a white spine.
A zine compiled from collages as they were in the process of being painted out with white acrylic paint.
Six collages by Gracia Haby upon unused Mode Parisienne button cards, collected from Puces de Saint Ouen, Paris, in 2018, hand-bound by Louise Jennison into a zine for you to enjoy.
The cover is composed of two parts, one painted out (above) and the other (below) revealing the whole.
The original collages, recorded at various stages of being masked out with white paint, were created on the heels of our Ripples in the Open zine and collage workshop, with remaining pieces and lingering ideas.
Paint out was released into the wild at Sticky Institute Festival of the Photocopier Zine Fair 2019, at Trades Hall.
