- Summary:
-
An artists' book. For the month of "nothing new" (in which people are encouraged to reflect about consumption), the artist "used off-cuts and paper that would otherwise have gone into the waste bin." Multiple cut outs of each of the nine animals were hand-cut using different papers. Each one is individually different, as in nature. They are loosely inserted in transparent stamp album-like pockets, reflecting how many Australians often see their country's wild animals only as specimens in zoos.
