Scrambled text

Following from artworks in 2022 in which I used scrambled text, yesterday I completed this A2 work on paper using artist's pen (india ink) on fine printmaking paper.

State Library of Victoria

Yesterday I was advised that my little book has been catalogued by the State Library of Victoria as: Minotaur (Greek mythological character), Australian Fiction and Short story. It may only be read in the library.

Just magic

Life can be magic and mysterious, though I suspect that this moment in time had something to do with the fact that I'm currently reading Marina Abramovic's Memoir on her life of performance art. Which brings me to the fact that, quite by chance I had an interesting conversation this afternoon about body art with John, the lead singer of Trophy Eyes. I feel blessed when these impromptu occasions occur. They are so rare and welcome.

Quick catch up

I lodged my little book with the State Library of Victoria. I may register it as an eBook at some stage. At the moment I'mreading Marina Abramovic's Memoir and playing with camera tools on my mobile phone. This is one still from a 3 second video I took.

Apologies

Will get back to blog posts when I have pain and other things under control.

Interior Dialogue

I'm happy that my limited edition (20 copies) booklet/novelette has been delivered. Printed at TDC3 in Richmond, it has a 240 gsm, cream covered Envirocare cover with 100 gsm uncoated insides and contains 36 pages/approximately 15,000 words including preface. I consider it a piece of speculative fiction. I'm giving it to people I see on a regular basis, however in the future I may turn it into an ebook or send interested people a pdf.

Artist page on Facebook

Did you know that I have a Facebook page called Julie Joy Clarke Artist Richmond? Many of my drawings, paintings and lino cuts I've done over the past decade are there (sorry, not in chronological order) and many are for sale - price range $50-$400. I am also happy to negotiate price. If you are interested in purchasing any artwork please contact me via Messenger.

Please note I am not interested in selling artworks as NFT's. I state this because I've been contacted by a few American folk who want to make money from my artworks.
