To be able to write a high-quality speech is a lot like making a good cake. Having the right elements is key for it's success. Every…

Somehow Abigail Uhteg managed not only to edition a book and take some of the
sweetest photos ever during her residency here at Women's Studio Workshop, but she also managed to put together over 3000 images to make a fabulous stop-motion video of the process as well. We cant stop watching this! It captures major action in all of our studios: printmaking, hand-papermaking, letterpress, and book binding. The video has been circ…

With the exhibition -
The Artists Books of Robert Jacks - now on show, and the catalogue begining to trickle into distribution, I'm moving to a more focussed phase of research into Robert Jacks' book related work. As part of this research, I'm trying to find copies of
Free Media Bulletin from 1971. Web searching does not turn up much of any use. Although there are a few references - in particular to issue 1, which was edited by Jeff Wall. But I'm looking for nos. 12 / 16 / 17. Thes…

In 2007 I was invited to participate in the Geelong Gallery/NETS Victoria touring exhibition
The enchanted forest - new gothic storytellers. As the new work progressed, it not only took on an entirely new direction, but began to assert a life of its own beyond the enchanted forest. More significantly, I became interested in exploring the idea of taking the show’s title more literally and writing a story of my own, suggested by a suite of eight small canvases titled
The Enchanted Hair O…

I just had an enquiry about a 2001 artist book from a designer in Sweden, the query came through a blog entry requesting how he could find the detail on the old viewer directory? (that isn't searchable except by scrolling down through 20 years of entries) . . .
Go here, there are two books in one. There are two viewing platforms also, I did a slide preview as a .pdf for each book and a very earl…
