Recombinant Images. As processes of quantifying, analysing and now potentially transforming human life becomes enabled by digital technologies, the promise of incredible insights is tempered with the threat of tragic oversights. The artwork exhibited here correlates the digitisation and manipulation of genetic information to the use of the Photoshop software editing techniques within print culture.
Karen Stone's MVA mid candidature exhibition
paper - pulp painting/papermaking
"This exhibition is an experiment in the visual translation of memories and feelings of home,
through the use of domestic floral patterns. The
pulp paintings are made with fibres sourced
from donated or found recycled clothing, which
carry the stories from their previous owners into
my story of home. Bringing the past into the
present asks the question "what does home
mean to me?" as a single, older, non-homeowning
woman in contemporary Australian
society and culture?"

artists books @ dc3p
… the emergence of artists books in the twentieth century as a medium that engages the breadth of our senses was underpinned by collaborative practice between poets, artists and designers within print culture. This intersection between the fields of fine art, literature and design facilitated by the printed book continues to attract interest across the creative arts. Responding to the fields emerging critical discourse a research focus textured by 'the haptic' has been established at dc3p. This focus embraces the production, reception and evaluation of artists books within the antipodes. In keeping with the haptic, the nature of the focus is dynamic, responding to the surfaces of the field.
To date those surfaces include;
the abbe events (artists books brisbane event)
these have featured a conferences, artists book fairs and exhibitions,
the publication of peer reviewed articles/essays academic papers from the abbe events have been published in The Journal of Artists' Books,
JAB39 , JAB42 , JAB43
the pinch - the development of a peer review collective supporting critical discourse on artists book practice,
the codex events - a series of collaborative publishing events and masterclasses featuring invited and visiting artists or scholars,
exhibitions - national & international, featuring books and prints by artists ,
advances in studio techniques, including
pulp printing - & fine papermaking techniques
