- Summary:
-
A zine and/or artists' book compilation consisting of all 19 zines released by the artists in 2017 and 2018. The zines are organized into similarly sized bundles housed in a cardboard box tray with a wraparound card sliding lid, taking the form of a giant matchbox. The exterior of the box is decorated with images from Ripples in the Open (a large scale digital collage, incorporating lenticular prints and a sound loop, exhibited at ArtSpace at Realm, Ringwood Town Square, Victoria from 10 November 2018 to 28 January 2019). The zines reproduce illustrations, collages and other artworks and are initalled in pen by the artists.
‘We are besotted with paper for its adaptable, foldable, cut-able, concealable, revealing nature. In our artists’ books, prints, zines, drawings, and collages, we use an armoury of play, humour, and perhaps the poetic too, with intent to lure you closer. The animal is oft present and easily detectable, the centre of our paper stage. Hard to miss, over here and over there, the animal runs up hills, scales rooftops, and sometimes appears to take flight. Gliding through a scene it is too large to be contained within or perhaps too manmade to call home, that it has a tail or feathers or furred muzzle is not solely why its form appears. For us, the animal is there to question our very behaviour, those moral principles one governs the self by, and to explore our relationship with the natural world. The words of Gogol whisper in the ear, “the longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes.” And so, we leave our scenes open-ended, inviting you to ponder and perhaps find that things are not always as they first appear.’ – Artists’ statement.
