On Tuesday 27 October I’ll be hosting an Open Studio at the State Library at 12.30pm. I’ll be talking about the research, ideas and artwork for my project ‘Intertidal’ produced during my State Library of Victoria Fellowship and Amor Residency at Baldessin Studios.

It’s been a wonderful year at the Library with so many incredible resources to delve into, with the help of kind and generous librarians, who assisted with locating historical archives and artworks I viewed in the heritage room. My Fellowship project ‘Intertidal’ explores the impact of climate change on intertidal zones on southern Australian reefs – with a focus on Port Phillip Bay and surrounding ocean shorelines. I spent time on the reefs, taking photographs and making camera-less photograms with plants and reef detritus.

The last part of the Fellowship has been the Amor Residency at Baldessin Studio, a bluestone building situated in bushland at St Andrews. Working with photographic material I’ve been printing a series of photogravure prints on a press with expert advice and assistance from Silvi, Tess, Nicole, August, Marcus & Elizabeth who encourage a friendly, thriving, printmaking community.

Here's a link to the event:

Prints from my new Stone As Flesh and Flower series. It’s great after a few days of printing to be able to lay them all out in the early morning @baldessinstudio sun. Excited that a selection of these will be exhibited in the @flinderslanegallery #explorations26 exhibition later in the year. #photgravure #contemporaryart #contemporaryprintmaking

A joyous Sunday at @sydneycontemporary with my friends @moniqueauricchio #masterprintmaker @sandals.64 and Rachel. What an uplifting day at the (art) fair! My favourite section was the works on Paper mainly because there were so many familiar and admired melbourne artists like @trudy_rice @lanadejagerfineart @australianprintworkshop @baldessinstudio @printcouncilofaustralia so many lovely chats with known and new (to me) artists. It was my first time and it won’t be the last. Ps Thanks for the photo @sandals.64 and the day and good to spend time in your home state @moniqueauricchio xx

Sooooo many techniques of printmaking are shown in the prints of the 53 artists on the Baldessin Studio wall this year! The closer I look, the more I appreciate…

Baldessin 25th portfolio sales here at Sydney Contemporary are going gangbusters, but there are absolutely still prints available!

The artists have generously donated a few prints from each edition to us to sell for our fundraiser. In some cases there are only three for sale per artist, so MOVE IT if you want to snag one that you love!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

@baldessinstudio is at @sydneycontemporary as we speak, showcasing a stellar folio of prints celebrating Baldessin’s 25th Anniversary. I am so very chuffed to be included alongside excellent Adelaide buddies Anna Austen & Sorayya Sharifah. A dream come true 🖤

Prints from 53 Australian artists to choose from. Buying one is a terrific way to add to your art collection and support Baldessin, a wonderful studio to visit/stay for print workshops and residencies. Link in bio.

Southern Moon, 2026
Lithograph
Edition of 10 + A/P printed by Jen Tarry-Smith at Salt Press (@saltpress_)
Image Size 46x38cm / Paper Size 46×38cm

The Southern moon moth (Dasypodia selenophora) is a nocturnal insect native to southeastern Australia. Unlike more reclusive forest species, they are drawn to artificial lights and frequently appear in urban areas. Encountering one feels like a sudden, quiet intrusion of the wild into the domestic, carrying the ancient imprint of the bush into modern human spaces.

This intersection of nature and human environment mirrors a pivotal shift in my own practice. During my 2017 State Library of Victoria Amor Residency at Baldessin Press, working on the historic press in the bushland setting fostered a symbiotic relationship with my surroundings, inspiring me to integrate environmental conservation work directly into my art practice.
