David Frazer’s latest artist book, Love Letter, has recently been featured in the Sydney Morning Herald in an article written by Andrew Stephens.
The near sold-out limited edition feature the lyrics of Nick Cave’s song, ‘Love Letter’. The book has the musician’s blessings – Frazer says Cave was thrilled with the results – and all copies bear the musicians signature.
Frazer’s artist-books reinterpret the songs, or fragments of songs, as wood-engravings – a form of printmaking in which the artist engraves images into blocks of wood, inks them up and runs them through a press on to fine-quality paper. Each page is separately hand-printed and no modern technology is used.

We are very much looking forward to David’s upcoming exhibition at Australian Galleries, Melbourne – opening Tuesday 23 November and current until Saturday 18 December, 2021.
