"The work in the exhibition showcases the limitless possibilities of this remarkable medium. Included in the show (at the Ozu Washi gallery, in Nihonbashi) are wall pieces, installation work, artists’ books, and wearable items. Gallery talks about the work will be given on August 31 and September 1, both beginning at 2pm. Concurrent to the exhibition at Ozu Washi, the life and work of Dard Hunter himself will be showcased at the Paper Museum, where two lectures will be given (September 5): “The Paper Research of Dard Hunter” and “The Activities of the Friends of Dard Hunter group.”

This Australian woman born in 1899 seems to have been imbued, at birth, with a drive to create, unlike anyone I have ever read about. Beginning as a young girl, she created multiple, imaginative lives seemingly from nothing. With her family background rooted in the Australian cattle “wilderness called Mungy Station,” she became known across Europe and America as a stage presence singing and dancing with drag queens in the early 1920s to a Bond Street couturier known as Madame Pellier, along with a British accent.

It is the wallpaper designs interspersed throughout this handsomely produced book, that move the story forward. Her last reinvention as a high-end wallpaper designer gives her life the gravitas and accolades deserved as their intricacies are explained with care and detail by O’Neill. The patterns are stunning. For an artist, this is where the story lies – her creativity, her formidable personality to promote and believe in her art form. Yet, her ending is as tragic as any mythological figure diminish does not diminish her contribution.
