Artist Book The Sorry Tale

Continuing my mission to bring poetry to audiences of visual art and Visual Art to readers of poetry

Two prints from the folio The Sorry Tale

The Australia Council funded project The Sorry Tale is taking shape as a script, a verse novel and now I have printed extracts onto sheets that will be part of a folio to be exhibited at the NightLadder Collective exhibition 'In the Works' at the Webb Gallery, QCA Brisbane in July 2019. The images are a combined print/drawing process taken from digitised slides taken by my seaman father in the 1960s and 1970s.
