{Made discernible by the glowing light.}
Dear you,
Rather lost my head, it seems, to the bright lights of
Blackpool. Neither the first nor the last to do so, I waddled about in the pier
feeling myself a giant and over stimulated goose. Quite the transformation,
that, for a majestic Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) on annual holiday. Once more, I am
fascinated by the human animal and their light globe mania. Their power
fixation knows no bounds. They’ve made it a god and master. The electric hum
holds me tight. Must shake free and return to my senses…just as soon as I stop
playing with the flick, click, clickity-click switches.
Yours considerably less illuminated than before,

Their power fixation knows no bounds...

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
