Extending a warm welcome to you, traveller new. Out on sturdy and gnarled limb, let’s say I am happy to meet you and I hope you’ll stick around.
For those unsure of where they have landed, this space High Up in the Trees is where I share new collage works of mine, and introduce collaborative works made with Louise. With a small and sharp pair of Honey Bee scissors (their handle marked with black and yellow stripes, their precision-ground tips allowing me to cut neatly into the tightest and tiniest of areas) in hand, I work.
Our artists' books can be found in the collections of: Artspace Mackay; Bibliotheca Librorum Apud Artificem; Deakin University Library; Melbourne University Library; Monash University Library; National Gallery of Australia; RMIT University Library; State Library of New South Wales; State Library of Victoria; State Library of Queensland; Tate (UK); University of the West of England (UK).
And our work has been commissioned for The Australian Ballet; Big Issue; NETS Victoria; Australian Poetry; The World of Interiors (UK); ACE Hotel (USA); and UPPERCASE magazine (CAN), amongst others.
I am also known to collage with words, writing about dance for Fjord Review.
For those curious, I was born in the Chinese Year of the Rabbit in the middle point of the 70s, and my name is pronounced ‘Grey’ (like the colour) with a ‘sha’ sound at the tail. My surname, Haby, rhymes with Baby.
With blog name pulled from both a line of text featured in a book of postcard collages by Rebecca Horn (All These Black Days — Between), and Chekhov's A Russian Affair, this space proves a comfortable and somewhat orderly repository for my collage works and collaborative pieces alongside recently seen performances, exhibitions, and films, and books combed through.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog.
Sincerely Yours,
Gracia Haby

It was quiet and dark — only high up in the tree tops a vivid golden light quivered here and there and transformed spiders' webs into shimmering rainbows.
