Helen Malone is an artist living in
Brisbane Australia who specializes in artists’ books and book sculptures. Studies in Art
History and a passion for illuminated manuscripts and artists’ books led to
further art studies and a focus on the sculptural and visual possibilities of
books as art. Her interests have always
been in creating books whose structure and format reflects the content of the
book or creates added meaning. Main topics
of interest that have been subject matter for Helen’s books are social and
political comment, personal history and memory, natural disasters, literary
connections and architecture.
Helen’s books were first exhibited
in the State Library of Queensland in 1991 and since then has been exhibited
widely in Australian book exhibitions, prizes and awards. Her work has travelled to exhibitions in many
countries such as the USA, France, England, Italy, Scotland, Japan, Germany,
Slovakia and Lithuania.
Work is featured in publications by the State Library
of Queensland, on the SLQ artists’ books website, and in conjunction with the
Education Queensland School curriculum. Her
work has been published in artists’ book publications, catalogues and journals,
both nationally and internationally.
Her books are held in many public and private collections in Australia
and overseas.
