"The Elephant of Eastbury" is an international collaboration between U.S./Australian artist Laura Mitchell of Perth, Littlefox Press, and U.S. poet Andrew Gates of Connecticut.
The event is not only a book launch but also an exhibition of Laura Mitchell's original paintings which have provided the illustrations for the book. These consist of ten full color plates as well as the book cover. The images range from literal to metaphorical interpretations of the poem, and best described as "mind-scapes", suggestive of the many-faceted aspects of memory.
Laura Mitchell is an artist and a violonist (see www.myspace.com/trioalegra) she has lived and worked in Washington DC, NYC, SF and Madrid before moving to Perth.With the Elephant of Eastbury, she will launch her most recent work in Melbourne. The artist will be at the opening hoping to engage with the Melbourne public on Friday June 24, 2011, 6-8pm at Alice & Co. (159 Brunswick street Fitzroy, VIC 03 80605578), and the Perth opening will be Friday June 10, 2011 at the Kidogo Arthouse (Bather's Beach, Mews Rd, Fremantle WA).
