We’d love to see you in the physical environment.

The exhibition runs until Saturday the 20th of November, friends.

We are utterly delighted that the edition you can see in the gallery will be heading interstate afterwards. Something reverberated, edition 2/2, and its companion, With wings outstretched and quivering, 2/2, have been acquired by the State Library New South Wales.

(Explore our other artists’ books and zines in their collection.)

Included in the exhibition, alongside Something reverberated, editions of A Hemline of Sky, Forest, and Water Through Smoke.

Included, below, Monday’s installation in the gallery.

If you’d like to keep Thursday’s conversation across the airwaves going, on Sunday, why not consider heading to The Seventh Annual Hallozeen. We will have, in addition to Bats aren’t scary, pocket-sized versions of Something reverberated at our table, as well as our earlier tales.
