Bunyip and Printed Matter

Overview

The elusive bunyip. A mythological figure in Australian outback tales and one that has gone on to scare many an unsuspecting, and completely gullible, tourist. For artists Simon Greiner and Carlo Ritchie, the bunyip is more than just a figure to frighten your friendly visiting backpacker, it's a character all of its own that has been brought to life in an interactive and narrative based exhibition. With a combination of props, set design and anatomical and behavioural studies of the bunyip, you will be able to follow the bunyip's comic-like storyline as it makes its way through the gallery space.

But everyone likes a two-for-one don't they? Yes they do. And they will get one when visiting the Paper Mill this month as you also get to see Printed Matter — an exploration of some of Sydney's diverse printing collectives. Each offering is an original and tactile experience of printed greatness. Colours have been picked by eye, and stock has sometimes been hand fed, olde worlde style, through printing machines to create fascinating and beautiful pieces of ink coloured paper. If you have a passion for paper, and what can be done on it, this is your holy ground.
