{Forever at my heel.}
Dear you,
A day (nay, make that a day AND its comrade night) more capable of going in wrong direction I’ve not yet had misfortune of meeting. Today, tonight, all of it, one backward canter perfectly performed. Perfectly polished to such a gleam that I see my form everywhere reflected. Reflected on the ground. And on the feathers of the giant birds who haunt my every step. Wings browbeat.
Redo. Retrace. Rework. Refit. Remodel. Relink. Repeat. Re-, re-, re-, up until I think I’ll snap if I don’t yield to the humor that comes from a day committed to the retracing of steps.
Yours tangled up in melodrama,
X

Traveller dear,
Louise Jennison and I make artists’ books, we make all sorts of things, and most usually we make things on paper. Collaboration comes naturally to us both; it is an enjoyable process that yields treasure not possible without the other. Working side-by-side, as we do from our home-based studio in Melbourne, Australia, it is a pattern we are familiar with, a path we are delighted to tread, seeing what new scenario evolves. Collaboration throws up the unexpected, and what is not to like about that?
When not with scissors in hand, I can be found writing about ballet and contemporary dance for Fjord Review, and (upon occasion) painting and collage for RMIT.
With paper sufficient to cover the moon and sincerely yours,
Gracia Haby
