Born in 1958 in Melbourne. Lives and works in Australia.
The Surrogate Cartographer, 2002. Portfolio of 7 multiples in a clothbound slipcase. Letterpress and sealing wax. 57,5×38 cm. 30 ex.
This conceptual artist, whose work I first noticed in an exhibition in the Palais de Tokyo in 2001, is obsessed with books and lettering. These 7 minimalistic sheets combine short phrases in letterpress with sealing-wax stamps — the only edition in our print shop that never went “under pressure.”

The Surrogate Cartographer, 2002. Album de 7 multiples en typographie et cire-à-cacheter, réunis dans un emboîtage toilé. 57,5×38 cm. 30 ex.
C’est en 2001, au Palais de Tokyo, que je remarque cet artiste conceptuel australien. Obsessionnel du livre, du texte et du lettrage, il compose à l’atelier Surrogate Cartographer, un portfolio de 7 planches minimalistes où se mêlent phrases imprimées en typographie et empreintes de cire-à-cacheter. Projet unique dans l’histoire de l’atelier : rien n’est passé en pression chez nous !
