Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Wednesday, October 09, 2013. Spoils at draw.inc. Stuart Shepherd's ice penguin (foreground) and Dispersant (background). There is still at least a week left to see my work in the Spoils exhibition at draw.inc in Hamilton. My two large textile installations share the gallery spaces with Stuart Shepherd's sculptures, conducting a lively conversation about oil and mining, asset sales and climate change. Catching shadows and a breeze. After we packed up, I put the ...

Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Thursday, March 20, 2014. I am interested to see that quilter Kathryn Clark. Is simultaneously developing another textile vocabulary of quilt patterns to address ". Issues like climate change, the digital era, migration, water and food security, etc.". Her vision of creating. A body of work to start the conversation. Is so aligned with my own vision, yet expressed more explicitly that I am inspired by her generosity. Posted by Meliors Simms. Look what I made.

Bibliophilia: August 2014

Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Tuesday, August 05, 2014. The moment I spotted this book. I would never have dared to try making my own panniers without finding Lisa Lam's book with her detailed and well-illustrated instructions. I might not have dared to tackle Lisa Lam's pannier pattern without roping in Anna, to make it a collaborative project. Lets spend your school holidays making ourselves pannier bags! Capacious insides lined with beautiful brassicas. Posted by Meliors Simms. Te Kowhai...

Bibliophilia: Beginning a Plastic-Free July
http://meliors.blogspot.com/2013/07/beginning-plastic-free-july.html
Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Monday, July 01, 2013. Beginning a Plastic-Free July. Oh the irony that on this, the first day of the Plastic Free July Challenge. Bottles of worm wee. What is the Plastic-Free July challenge? If we intend to reuse a yoghurt container multiple times after the product is consumed is it still considered single use? Does consume mean just not buying, or not using up products already purchased in their single use plastic? I whipped some up which tastes pretty bad s...

Bethwyn putting the finishing touches of Peepshow: Books and Competitors. Other books are based on cloth-bound adult non-fiction, and with so many more pages to fill, they may never be finished. Three of these 'works in progress' will be included in our exhibition. We started Handsome Man Maintenance. And Am I Woman or Lady: Pages of Fun. And The New Book of Kitchen Sex.

Bibliophilia: Shop's Open
http://meliors.blogspot.com/2014/05/shops-open.html
Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Monday, May 19, 2014. Hey, I restocked and reopened my Etsy store. It's a been a good couple of years since I paid it any attention, but like so many things on the internet it was all still there waiting for me to click a few buttons. Due to my camera problems I haven't added anything new to Etsy that I've made since 2012, like my fresh off the letterpress capitalism stickers. Basic Book Craft Skills zine. Posted by Meliors Simms. Look what I made.

Bibliophilia: September 2014
http://meliors.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Monday, September 22, 2014. My appliqued banner is the lead photo in the Element. Magazine article about the Auckland People's Climate March on Sunday! I'm not going to let a third term National government make me passively despair. I feel like the election result is an incentive to be more active in building a resilient community around me, and to be much more visible in opposition to climate-change-inducing activities. Long time blog followers may recognise t...

Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Sunday, October 05, 2014. Yarn Bombing the Environment Centre. Caitlin, quietly absorbed in yarn bombing.

To celebrate their new home they held an open day on Saturday. I had no prior knowledge of the latter two topics). Brenda and her mokopuna yarn bombing.

Meliors Simms : Living in the Anthropocene. Monday, July 21, 2014. Where are all the letterpress cats? Inspired by the good times we had at the Hamilton Zinefest, Phil and I have made a new zine which we took up to the Auckland Zinefest last weekend. Our letterpressed zine, all set with moveable type and printed on the big proofing press at Black Fox Press, is called Anti Social Media. Anti Social Media No. 1. Phil ready to welcome people to the Black Fox Press/Bibliophilia table. Wallis at six months.
