I was really pleased to find that my Precious Library of Peace is being featured in a great exhibition in the Queensland State Library (QSL) as part of their new acquisitions exhibition.
This artists' book was created to recognise the importance of International Peace Day on the 21 September each year. There are 21 silver-plated books in the 'library' all stamped with quotes and peace words. It was such a joy to me that the work was acquired by the QSL and therefor as part of its collection it will be available to the public for many years to come; and hopefully inspire folk to create peace.
A few photos supplied to me by the QSL staff follow - thank you.

Thanks to the QSL for acquiring this book; and for the ongoing showing of artists' books from their collection.

ReplyDeleteLA and MC - it is good that we can use our art practice to send a few ripples out in the hope that they might make some small differences. MC and J - thanks for your congratulations - it does give one a bit of a boost. Go well. B
