WINDOW < IKKUNA > ARTIST BOOK by Miri Badger

Miri spent 2012 in Turku, Finland and after 10 years, in August 2022, she found herself there again as an artist in residence at Fiskars Village.

She became interested in the way recollections of place and experience mutate over time, in particular the rewiring of her memories from 10 years ago. This culminated in the series of paintings, poems, journal entries and watercolour drawings on handmade paper, made over a month-long residency.

Miri then collaborated with Marilena Hewitt ( Platypus Publication) to create this artist book. Creating a dialogue between written and painted work in an attempt to extend the research begun during her 2022 Finland residency.

Limited edition artist book, printed in Meanjin (Brisbane) by Printcraft. Soft cover edition 240 x 320 mm Portrait.
