{From Aardvarks (Orycteropus afer) to Thylacines (Thylacinus cynocephalus), our first zine for 2015, Thither & Hither, has landed.}
For those of you who could not make it along to last Sunday's Festival of the Photocopier zine fair at the Melbourne Town Hall, our first zine for the year, Thither & Hither, is now available for three gold coins through our online store.
An edition of sixty, it features a recently escaped circus troupe of animals who have found refuge within several paintings within the Louvre's collection (Léon-Matthieu Cochereau, Interior of the Studio of David, 1814; Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, The Colosseum Seen through the Arcades of the Basilica of Constanine, 1825; Jan van der Heyden, The Dam with the New Town Hall in Amsterdam, 1668). Some made it to the yellow light of Sir John Soane's Picture Room and Monk's Parlour. To the best of Louise and my knowledge, they remain amidst the bronze figures and fungi still.
From an ongoing collaborative series. Wait until you see where next our characters appear. (No clues. All tease.)

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
