Currently featured in APW's Gertrude Street windows is a selection of hand-made artist books by Melbourne artist Kyoko Imazu.

Kyoko is an artist whose practice encompasses a range of mediums such as printmaking, papercut, puppetry and installation, bookbinding and ceramics.

Her work tells the stories of our often-overlooked neighbours like the weeds, bugs and pebbles that fill our everyday lives. Upon closer inspection, every petal, leaf and wing is miraculously unique; they all have their own stories and universes within themselves, containing many states of life, death and regeneration. She uses the stories of these tiny neighbours to imagine the worlds we cannot see with our own eyes.

Her works are held in collections at various public institutions such as National Library of Australia, State Library of Queensland, State Library of Victoria and National Gallery of Australia as well as numerous private collections worldwide.

A selection of Kyoko's artist books are on view 24/7 in APW’s Gertrude Street facing windows until 9 December 2024.
