Belated Berlin Type

Marilyn & My Brother

The lovely guys at Happenstance magazine recently hosted Fresh Meet in the gallery space underneath Marsu Homme in Darlinghurst, Sydney. Eight artists were given a mannequin part and told to go wild. For my arm my 1970s orange Brother typewriter was at the whim of my destruction to create and Edward Scissorhands-esque set of fingers. Marilyn Monroe wraps around the arm to a full head of type at one end, and a woodblock 'R' at the other. More pictures from the show here plus I believe the latest edition of the magazine should be out soon

Never Give a Pretty Girl a Hand Grenade

My work for the Print Matters exhibition which opened last week: Never Give a Pretty Girl a Hand Grenade. A little bit of Hoefler Text Italic, ten illustrations and 3 hours worth of hand-sewn binding, it folds into a neat 150mm x 150mm book.

Hosted by the General Store (soon to open in Potts Point, Sydney) and curated by Ben Gavin it continues until August 2nd at The Chauvel in Paddington, Sydney.
