Production notes

The Book of Bitzer Fragments, 1990 ‘Bitzer’ was one of the artist’s favourite companions as a young child. As his worn appearance and ‘button-eye’ attests, he was much loved. Handed-down to the artist’s brother, Jamie, to whom the book is dedicated, ‘Bitzer’ acquired a knitted jacket. In 1989, whilst preparing for an exhibition at Grahame Galleries in Brisbane, ‘Bitzer’ re-emerged. Photocopied images from watercolours and drawings made for book. Printed on Japanese paper. 21.0 x 30.0 cm. Edition of 20. Collections: Australian Library of Art, State Library of Queensland; Baillieu Library, University Melbourne; Centre for the Artist’s Book, Brisbane; Monash University, Melbourne; University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba Collection of the Centre for the Artist’s Book.
