Nathalie Gautier-Hartog, a Sydney Printmakers member, has her work Looking for Paradise on display in the exhibition Paper Universe: the Book as Art, State Library NSW.
The exhibition runs until Sunday 3 May 2026
https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/paper-universe-book-art
Artist Statement: The work creates a parallel between Australian government policies and their consequences on refugees’ quest in looking for a better place to live, a search for paradise and their dreams to find a refuge. Central to the theme of the work, I am bringing the stories of these immigrants, relegated to the margin of society, to the centre page. The 12 books look into how past and present policies instigated to help or denied entry to people in need of a “safe heaven”. The books are presented in a barb wire cage alluding to the restrictive movements imposed on refugees.
