Whirl, whoosh, swoop.

{From setting up to lights out, the Melbourne Art Book Fair.}

Monday night, just time enough for a quick gallop through the Melbourne Art Book Fair. For a whirl about the Great Hall, before the edges soften further and fade altogether. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you crazy flash. Sweep, hare, fly! Here, below, a little of how it looked from our stand at the fair. And perhaps a little, too, of how it felt. Giddy. Exhilarating. And exhausting. Good hallmarks, all. We are beyond thrilled that copies of our artists' book, Because I Like You, are now bound for the National Library of Australia, the State Library of Victoria, and the Baillieu Library, University of Melbourne, as well as private collections. And speechless that The Company You Keep, an artists' book comprised of fifteen Salvaged Relatives collages on cabinet cards, is destined for the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria. The stuff of dreams!

Thank-you to everyone who swung by our stand and leafed through our zines and new work. It was a pleasure to show you our jaguars, giraffes, tigers, and other pressed animals on the page. A real pleasure indeed.

Thank-you for having us, Melbourne Art Book Fair team. 2016 proved even merrier than its debut, and we've talked ourselves hoarse. We've talked ourselves silly.

From Dear tails to Whiskers and Bristles, over the coming days, we'll list our nine new zine titles on our online store, for those of you who couldn't make it along.

With heavy eyelids, weary bones, and happy hearts, goodnight, and big thanks,
G&L xo








































{To savour: the quiet moments setting up in the morning to fair's full flight. So happy to have shared this with you, Deidre, Deanna, Theo, Peter, Emily, Trent, M.33, and Kyoko.}
