The University of Sydney Library is delighted to welcome Barbara Campbell as the 2019 Printer in Residence!
With an extensive creative practice spanning printmaking, performance, bookmaking and concept-driven enquiry, Barbara Campbell will take up residency in the Piscator Press workshop during Semester 2.
Her project ‘A Bird is in the Library’ brings together her passion for print techniques, haiku, libraries, and birds. It anticipates engagement with library users in an imaginative journey via letterpress and the architecture of the library and its systems.
Barbara will also hold two interactive open studios and a book launch exhibition at the end of the residency, see details below.
Read more about the residency program on the Library website or you can follow the Library on social media: Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for updates.
You can also see Barbara’s work online on her Instagram account.
