Japan Photo Book is a series of five works by Arts Project Australia artist Rebecca Scibilia drawing on memories of her time in Japan.
Scibilia employs a variety of media in her practise, focusing primarily on felt-tip and paint pens. Finding inspiration in personal experiences and popular culture, she conveys personal or collective memories through abstract forms, often weaving visual references, motifs and text into the imagery. In Japan Photo Book, each piece captures a moment in time, inspired by photographs taken throughout the trip. Characterised by assured patternmaking, the works are at once reflective and electric.
Scibilia has been an artist at the Arts Project Australia studio since 1999. Founded in 1974, Arts Project Australia is a gallery and supported studio that represents artists with intellectual disabilities, promotes their work, and advocates for their inclusion in contemporary art practice. For 50 years, APA has been recognised and celebrated for the quality of the work produced by the artists in the studio, which is exhibited in the APA gallery and around the world and represented in multiple public and private collections.
