After an eventful month in London (more
about that in later posts) we returned to Australia just in time for Clunes
Booktown on the weekend of 3 & 4 May. As reported in our last post, Moth
Woman Press were proud to be invited to participate in Booktown’s inaugural
Biblio-Artist Books, which was curated by Nicholas Jones. Fellow Biblio artists
were David Frazer, Angela Cavalieri, An Kyunghee, Gracia Haby, Louise Jennison,
Deanna Hitti, Tai Smith, Dianne Longley and Nicholas Jones. The State Library
of Victoria and Melbourne University’s Baillieu Library also had impressive
displays.
There was no time to acknowledge the
inevitable jetlag or the nasty dose of flu that accompanied me back to the
Antipodes. Over an incredibly hectic but exhilarating weekend we had hundreds
of visitors, many of them new to artist books. There was much positive response
to our own work and to Biblio in
general.
