Her bookwork often responds to works of literature by writers such as Eugène Ionesco. She has produced a number of fine press artist books, in which her prints combine with letterpress text. [3] One such book, Le vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui (French: The virgin, the vivacious and the beautiful today) by Stéphane Mallarmé, illustrated by Myshkin's wood engravings, was produced in 2012 with letterpress printer Caren Florance (Ampersand Duck). It was collected by University of Melbourne Special Collections [4] and the Bibliothèque nationale de France [5] as well as private collections.

Her works have been shown in major galleries including the National Gallery of Australia, [6] and other of her livres d'artiste have been acquired by the British Library, Queensland State Library and the Australian National University Library. [7]

Background

Myshkin attended the Canberra School of Art from 1989, studying under Gillian Mann and Jorg Schmeisser. [8] In 1996 she was an Artist in Residence in the ANU School of Art Edition and Artist Book Studio with Dianne Fogwell and Petr Herel. [9]

Printmaking is the process of creating artworks by printing, normally on paper, but also on fabric, wood, metal, and other surfaces. "Traditional printmaking" normally covers only the process of creating prints using a hand processed technique, rather than a photographic reproduction of a visual artwork which would be printed using an electronic machine ; however, there is some cross-over between traditional and digital printmaking, including risograph.

Wendy Murray, is a visual artist and arts educator, formerly known as Mini Graff. Under her former persona, Murray worked as an urban street-poster artist between 2003 and 2010, working in and around Sydney's urban fringe. Since 2014, Murray's art expanded into traditional forms of drawing and artist book design, whilst still engaging with social and political issues through poster-making. Murray's use of letraset transfers, accompanied with vibrant colours and fluorescent inks, references the work of studios from the 1960s through to the 1980s, including the community-based Earthworks Poster Collective and Redback Graphix. A 2018 collaboration with The Urban Crew, a 17-person collective of socially engaged geographers, planners, political scientists and sociologists, resulted in the Sydney – We Need to Talk! artist book, addressing issues of development, transport congestion, housing affordability and commercialisation of public space.
