Publishing as Practice

Publication is a medium for artists to articulate artistic expression and a form of discussion that can be a new viewpoint for readers that leads to critical thinking. In this project, I bring the history and culture of the art precinct through the architecture, places, and animals that lived around the art precinct. It involved sharing my experience as a designer and as a master’s student, which involved research and reading.

The concept of this project is inspired by the term of the spirit world of the First Nation’s storytelling of “dreaming” from the Australian-indigenous culture of the spirit world where some creatures live around us. (Artlandish Aboriginal Art Gallery 2024), This book has 64 pages. I include interactivity pages such as pop-ups and 3D Augmented reality to engage the readers. Not only that, but there are also cultural aspects to which I have taken the First Nations’ mythological creatures.
