A SUITE OF PRINTS
By Gracia

Eight postcard collages made into limited edition prints.

The passage home was long.
A possible shortcut is considered.
A moment to hold close to the chest.
Looking for a way in.
A chance sighting.
One moonlit night with little to no prospect of success.
They had returned.
It was worth it if only to see the stars scuttle across the shore.

Four-colour lithographic offset print on Fabriano bright-white hot-press 300gsm paper.
Paper size 160 mm X 200 mm.
Printed by Redwood Prints.
Each an edition of 15, 2010.

In this series of eight postcard collages made into prints, you will find the geography dotted with the familiar, and many animals and birds. These tailed or winged protagonists often appear out of place, oft too large for their present surrounds. They climb across the rocks illuminated by moonlight. Sometimes they leap at the moon. Sometimes they saunter nonchalantly through a city as they look for a way in. Sometimes they tiptoe or creep, looking for a safe place to curl. Perhaps they pass undetected, slinking through the forest unseen.

Many of these postcard collages were exhibited in original form at Craft Victoria late last year as part of our exhibition A key to help make your own world visible, and featured in the recent zine of same name.

A part of the process,
