Matrimony : Josephine Mead is a limited edition artist-book produced to accompany the exhibition ‘Matrimony’, curated by Dr Miriam La Rosa, at Walker Street Gallery & Art Centre (Dandenong) in 2024.

In ‘Matrimony’, multi-disciplinary artist Josephine Mead explores the meaning of ritual, union and love from a queer and feminist perspective. The publication documents work installed as part of the exhibition, including multiple paintings of the artist’s bridal bouquet and a sculpture, ‘Bridal Veil’, which has been formed from thousands of hand-joined brass wedding rings. The publication includes two essays written by Josephine, ‘On Matrimony’ and ‘On Love’ and an essay, ‘On Life’ written by Mig Dann.
