The Artists
Christine Morrow
My artwork reinterprets everyday objects
by focusing on their materiality. The
works I am presenting in Art Bound
recreate books and other printed matter
as part of a wider exploration of how
objects (including consumer goods)
reflect the rhythms of daily life and the
everyday pleasures of domesticity. My
strategy as an artist is to retrieve objects
from the anonymity of mass production,
reworking them in order to affirm their
relationship with human experience,
memory, culture and ritual. This springs
not from an impossible desire to return
to a pre-industrial time but because the
very relevance of art as a discipline rests
on our continued belief in the beauty,
necessity and pleasure of objects and
the search for the intellectual and poetic
resonances that exist between people
and material culture. In arriving at these
paintings, I aim to synthesise the twin
legacies of Pop, which is concerned
with the social meanings of objects, and
Minimalism with its focus on space, form
and the phenomenology of perception.
Penelope Richardson
Richardson’s artistic project explores cultural interfaces using visual metaphor. She creates work that observes social and political realities of the megalopolis from a personal perspective. Her artist books are an experimental arm of her practice juxtaposing text, images and ideas on a small scale.

These images were comissioned by The Age (Melbourne) for a six-page article by Bill Craske titled 'Street Scence' in August 2005. Seven unpublished images were later acquired by the National Library of Australia Pictures Collection.

Gary Willis
By the seventies art history had painted conceptual artists Simon Hopkinson and Gary Willis into a corner. NO ART PRODUCED FOR ARTS SAKE, announced Grahaeme Sturgeon in his review of their exhibition at Powell Street Gallery for The Australian (Oct 1977); 'exactly what we expect from our more traditional artists', he ended.
