Gemma is an Otautahi born artist and designer currently based in Sydney. Her interest in books has recently generated collaborative projects with kuku-yalanji artist Tiarna Herczeg and journalist Brittany Mann exploring how essays shared online can take other lives, and how book-making and reproduction can shift the encounter of artworks.
Gemma has an ongoing connection with Running Water Community Press a publisher in Mparntwe/Alice Springs devoted to writing and truth-telling from the central desert.
She has been involved in designing and printing a number of books for Canterbury University Press and has recently been published in Share Cheat Unite, Hamster and Femisphere. Gemma is often found hand-stitching books, specialising in coptic binding.
Gemma currently works at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
