I'm hoping that my artists' book, Compassion Scroll (see opening photo) will be exhibited as part of the Narratives 2025 artist's book exhibition in Maleny. Because we are heading off to Scotland it has been important to pack up the scroll and get one of the organisers to take delivery of it before we go.
This book was originally made for the Compassion exhibition in Nambour however the quote by Kirstin Hannah is just as applicable, or more so, in the current environment.
The quote is printed using traditional letterpress on a strip of pianola paper. The scroll container is made from an antique small brass hand pump. The door into the scroll container was hand cut and is mounted using recycled small brass hinges. The pump handle is used to roll up the scroll. The scroll is held in its extended position using an antique clock weight that I made a hook on the end of.
A few different images follow.
A fully unfurled version of the scroll follows.
