Hardcover. Zustand: Fine in Fine Slipcase. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Bound by master binder Friedrich Pohlmann. "One Way Home takes the form of a private devotional codex?an intimate book for personal use much like a medieval book of hours. However, it becomes immediately apparent after a few pages that this is not a tribute to the Divine, but rather an internal dialogue of spiritual turmoil. 'I have recorded in this book the times I've ventured towards hope on dead seas in rotting boats ? trusting these cheating tides I make the deep hole of myself and wait to snare my God alive' Lyssiots asks a great metaphysical question in One Way Home?how can we continue to believe in God when we find our faith questioned by human experience? In the colophon he somewhat answers this through reference to the writings of Nikos Kazantzakis, the great Greek philosopher of the twentieth century who was repeatedly censured by the Church. Kazantzakis' viewed Christ's struggle as defining human experiece, and we too must struggle with have, have doubt in God and enjoy human pleasures to end up with any certainty of belief. It is essential for Lyssiotis that this book is in manuscript, as each word is written it is clear that the work is a personal release for the artist. As he debates his choice between piety and humanity, Lyssiotis approaches the final truth engraved on Kazantzakis' epitaph: 'I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.'" A deeply personal work by one of Australia's most reknowned book artists.

"[O]ccasioned by BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, August 20, 2010, which also refers in red-printed wood type to the locations and dates of other environmental disasters associated with extractive industries. An epigraph by Lillian Hellman refers to the people who 'eat the earth', while other pepole 'stand around and watch them eat it.' Images of jellyfish are intersperced with an allusive text that suggests that the initial Deepwater Horizon explosion extinguished the light and replaced it wiht a darkness driven by profit. It perverts nature, and makes water mutate and burn: 'A black sludge ripples across the sea, through the air, towards the edges of the planet, toward the centre of our breathing.' The spill (which experts pretend to control and contain) becomes a death pool, like an enormous jellyfish, that rises to the surface, and then lies motionless."

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "The issue explored in this book is displacement, displacement caused by conflict. The artist and poet have taken a wide-angled view so there is no direct reference to a specific event or social movement or even to day-to-day life. Thoughts are fragmented and the narrative is not logical. Lyssiotis? text is at times printed in a colour so similar to the painted background that it is almost impossible to read. This is intentional. We have to work at reading it, like the characters in this book have to work at living."

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine in Fine Archival Box. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. "1316 is a trilogy, the sequence based upon Dante's The Divine Comedy (most likely the year he completed the work). This work is a response to Dante's imaginary world. The first book explores the Inferno, Book 2 travels through Purgatory, and Book 3 makes the journey to Paradise. All three books share a twin through line: Colour and Geometry. As an example, Book 3 used the colours of blue and gold and their implied light, peace, and sanctity, and the geometry of the square to enforce the perfection and release offered by Paradise. On our ten-year journey with Dante, we have constantly referred back to artists such as William Blake, Gustav Dore, Tom Phillips, and Colin McCahon, who also contended with Dante's text. We have drawn on Angela's photographs of texts and inscriptions used in the interiors of Italian churches and domes.we looked for those things in Dante that rippled out to our own times. Consequently, the text is original and written by Peter." Linocut prints, photographs, screen prints, acrylic, pen and ink.

Sydney : the artists, 2012. Quarto, hand-printed linocut wrappers, pp [32], illustrated with original linocuts. Edition limited to 30 signed copies, each varying somewhat in colour. A smaller format edition of the artist's book Dancing over Dark Waters, limited to 7 copies, in larger format. The textual content in both editions is the same. A chapbook based on the artists' book, Dancing over dark waters. The text is reset, and different images unique to this book appear, except for the cover, which reproduces part of an etching from the main work. The other images comprise linocut relief prints, and an interleaved etching on acid free tissue, which varies in different copies of the edition. The work reveals the three artists' response to one of Sydney's darkest historical colonial sites, Cockatoo Island, an imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and jail. The text also evokes the present day situation of refugees and refers to "those other islands we use as a noose -- Nauru, Christmas Island, Timor, Malaysia," asking: "When will the time come . when compassion will span the dark waters like an indestructible bridge uniting us and the best part of our dreams for the future with the best part of their dreams for the future." - NLA website.
