Gracia Haby & Louise Jennison
Naarm/Melbourne
Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison have been collaborating since 1999. As artists and wildlife carers, their practice frequently concerns the natural world, addressing themes of conservation and biodiversity through their artists’ books, zines, collages, prints, drawings, and, more recently, collage installations. With a shared love of paper and its adaptable, tactile properties that enable all manner of outcomes, from the playful to the poetic, they seek to draw you into their A(rtists’ books) to Z(ines). Their work can be found nationally in collections including the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Art Gallery of Ballarat, Melbourne Museum, National Gallery of Australia, National Library of Australia, State Library of New South Wales, State Library Victoria (SLV), State Library of Queensland, as well as internationally, including Tate (UK) and Bainbridge Island Museum of Art (USA). They have been commissioned by the Ace Hotel, The Australian Ballet, Fjord Review, Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, NGV, SLV, The World of Interiors, and more.
