Getting very close to the days at Athenaeum Library

I'm starting my residency at Melbourne Athenaeum Library from Monday 21 July.
Here are some sneak peeks of my works for the Library.
These are my interpretations as an adult of Japanese folklores and ghost stories I heard as a child.

I'll be making these books during the week as well as demonstrating and giving talks on Wednesday and Thursday.
Or if you are in town, feel free to pop in, we can talk about books and maybe make something together!

Tunnel books and Other Illuminations

If you are in Melbourne city in the week starting Monday 21 July, I would love to invite you to the historic Melbourne Athenaeum Library where I'll be making a series of tunnel books based on Japanese ghost stories and folklores with illuminations like festival lanterns.
