Tate Adams Memorial Residency at Baldessin Press and Studio, Inaugural recipient 2019-2020
State Library Victoria, in partnership with the Baldessin Press, is offering a new artist's book residency as part of the annual fellowship program.
The Tate Adams Memorial Residency is offered to an artist to accomplish a limited edition or unique state artist's book, using research from State Library Victoria and the studio facilities at Baldessin Press & Studio.
Artist's book: Terra Incognita
'Terra Incognita takes the physical form of a series of large-scale mono prints depicting the rapidly changing horizon lines of glacial landscapes in the Antarctic ice shelf.
Utilising cartographic material and early exploration photographs from State Library Victoria's collection, August's project aims to provide an emotive visualisation to the monumental importance of this still largely unknown landscape that is currently deteriorating at an unprecedented rate.
Referencing the early imagined landscapes, her project is not only a visualisation of early records but an imagining of what we will lose due to human influence. The project will result in a series of large-scale mono prints within a hand-bound artist's book.'
