Books on the way to the US

I decided that after having pretty much a single focus last year - making work for the Sydney Contemporary - that I would not commit to any one big thing this year; yet I would try to get my work out and about in other ways.

So I responded immediately when I saw that Alicia Bailey, Director of Abecedarian Gallery in Denver Colorado had put out a call for submissions for an exhibition called The Printed Page III.

The exhibition is really a series of satellite exhibitions throughout Denver from February - May 2018. I hint there are about 8 venues and the focus is on books that utilise the more hand-on forms of printmaking as a primary element.  I think the show will look gorgeous.

There will be an online catalogue, and I'll send out a little reminder as the show gets closer.

I submitted two books and was thrilled last week to learn that they had both been accepted.

We are headed away a bit in the next little while so I managed to get the books packed and posted off today which was a huge relief!

Successful was: Lost for Words a letterpress book where the word words disappears...

Also successful was What? Why? What? What? one of my books about family violence.

These are both books I like and am proud of, and its so very nice to have them acknowledged in this way, by being juried into an overseas exhibition.

Safe travels!
