 Gwenn Tasker and Angela Gardner, both part of the NightLadder Collective, went to a circus performance in 2015/6 at the Brisbane Powerhouse during which Gwenn drew and Angela wrote.  The performance was in the round so everything was happening at once and it was impossible to focus on one thing without losing sight of another. In 2021 Gwenn developed the drawings from that night using etching, relief printing and monoprint.  Angela added the poem Not Thinking About the Circus at the Circus (published Rochford Street Review, 2016 and the collection Some Sketchy Notes on Matter, Recent Work Press, 2020) in acrobatic sweeps following the movement of Gwenn's images using hand stamped letters. The format of the book - a very long concertina with additional tipped-in pages - echoes the sinuous, unconstrained movements and the simultaneous feel of a performance of physicality and playfulness.

Very excited that our artist book "Not Thinking About the Circus at the Circus" has been chosen for the Libris Artist Book Award 2022. Exhibition dates 9 April - 19 June 2022 at ArtsSpace Mackay. Proud to be part of this fabulous line-up chosen by judges Adele Outtridge and Brian Robinson.

New visual work from the Frans Masereel residency

A digital work from the 'weight of clouds' series. One of the discoveries from the residency was that by using digital files to create the lasercut cutting instruction they could then be used to play digitally with transparency, colour and layering. So printing with light before printing on paper. A monotype printed on Awagami silk white paper was collected by Frans Masereel Centrum, other prints in the edition have already gone to private collections in Belgium and U.S.A. Thanks to Arts Queensland and the Sunshine Coast Council for their RADF grant that allowed me to travel.

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.
