I would also wish to acknowledge Professor Diana Davis for the opportunity to engage with this research project and to Professor Dr Stephen Naylor for his supervision and mentorship through the process to its conclusion. For their generosity, support and willing participation during the process of the work, I wish to express my thanks to the following: SUPERVISORS • Professor Diana Davis – Principal Supervisor 2004-2006 • Professor Dr Stephen Naylor – Principal Supervisor 2006-2011 • Ronald McBurnie – Associate Supervisor MY MENTORS: FORMAL AND INFORMAL I have some heroes and heroines who historically have fuelled my interest in making photographs and books. These photographers, artists and bookmakers have rewarded my life and research activities through their book works, commentaries about books and occasionally, through personal conversation. Most importantly these mentors have shaped my work in the book as a personal communiqué. Thank you to: Victoria Cooper is my life partner and also a photographer and artists’ bookmaker. Whilst we work as independent practitioners, our fieldwork, conceptual refinement of work, and production work are often linked by the kinds of discussion that can take place over the breakfast table, driving in the car or walking.

  • Cvcatherine Pilgrim
    Catherine Pilgrim - CV Born 1968, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Meticulous, considered drawing is the basis for Catherine Pilgrim’s practice including lithographs, drawings and textiles. Fastidious attention to detail is the common element with personal narratives, absence and contemporary ideas around ‘Still Life’ influencing the subject matter. Catherine has exhibited widely since 1994, when she returned to Australia after studying lithography and drawing in Washington DC, USA. In 2011, Catherine completed her Master of Fine Art (Research) at Monash University, Melbourne. Her research was based on the subjective process of capture, which occurs in making a representational image. Catherine has won a number of awards for her intricate works on paper including the Australian Print Workshop Collie Trust Award and the Works on Paper, Warwick Non-Acquisitive Art Award. In 2014, Catherine was Artist in Residence at Buda Historic Home and Garden, in Castlemaine, researching the Leviny family history in preparation for a project exhibition held at the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historic Museum in February 2015. Catherine Pilgrim’s works are held in public and private collections including the National Gallery of Australia, Geelong Regional Art Gallery, National Australia Bank and Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum. © The Artist 2016 Education: 2011 MA (Research) Monash University 1999 BA (Hons) (Fine Art) Royal Melbourne Institute Technology 1995 BA (Humanities) Deakin Universtiy 1994 BA (Fine Art) Deakin University Solo Exhibitions:

( Palaeontologist, National 1J1usem·n, JJ:[elboiirne) and Professor TV. N. Benson, B.A., D.Sc. (University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealcind.) The Australian graptolite fauna is probably the most complete in the world, certainly in regard to its Ordovician components, a fact clearly appreciated by McCoy. He had ready for the press descriptions and figures of most of the species afterwards described in J amcs Hall's J\fonograph published iu 1865, which may be regarded as the basis of systematic graptolite research, when he received from Hall a proof of his fignres. McCoy immediately conceded him priority and adopted his specific names. Had Hall delayed sending his proof, McCoy wonld certainly have pnblisl1ed his figures and descriptions and his name would have been just as pl'ominent in the literature of graptoliies as Hall's. Com­ menting on "Graptolitcs (Didymograpsus) frutieosus (Hall sp.)," l\IcCoy snys, "this is the first Victorian gmptolitc I ever smv, and, as it was then a new species, I had named it in my .MSS. after J\fr.
