Okay, I am leaving for Boston on Friday and I need to get my house and travel goodies in some order so am blogging off for a little while.
I very briefly met a woman named Helen Malone at the artist book talk the other day in the state library. I have just had a look at her web page and I very much like her work.
In our little house built in the 1960 s there is some lino on the back landing and toilet area. I am actually assuming it was installed when the house was originally built, but it could have been placed there in later years. Anyway, every time I see the lino I can see different images in it and never the same images. Most often figures but not always. It is inspiring more and more of my work. Does this mean I need to get out more? Ha!
Went to the state library to the Fox Family Gloves Room on level 4 to listen to Ulrike Stoltz and Uta Schneider speak of their artist book practice/installations/typography print and how they work together in the idea of translations. Well worth attending.
