Woman Vs Wild was a site-specific installation of collage and drawings on found books and paper. Installed among the books in the West Space reading room the work responded to the site as a home of personal reflection, inspiration, historical documentation and sexy librarians. Based around ideas of the creative self being akin to a wild animal; a beast that is put through various degrees of taming, compromise and process before publishing or presenting an acceptable outcome, Woman Vs Wild is a playful and wry look at women that have trusted this wild part of their psyche.

The opening saw the launch of an artist’s book comprising new writing and images curated by the artist- a menagerie of ideas bringing together a bunch of writers’ thoughts loosely grouped around the concept of ‘wildness.’

Writers for the publication included Lorelei Vashti, Laura Castagnini, Josephine Rowe, Zoey Moonbeam Dawson, Mieke Chiew, Romy Ash and Phip Murray.
