| "Concertina format of twelve pages, one for each year of John Howard’s prime ministership. Rubber stamped in red ink DEAR JOHN (stamps from a children’s toy set) on one side and $ORRY (39 pt American Typewriter font) on the other. The book came about in response to a conversation with Angela Cavalieri about books and the forthcoming exhibition. Quite quickly the layers of meaning erupted. It was a matter of putting rubber stamp to card."
This book was part of the exhibition 'Lessons in History' at Grahame Galleries and Editions, 2007. |
