5 Press was founded in 2015, by five Melbourne based artists: August Carpenter, Cheralyn Lim, Sarah McConnell, Jaime Powell and Sophie Westerman.  

The collective was formed with the intention of investigating the artist book form, through traditional printmaking and book binding techniques. 5 Press produce their work independently and on occasion will produce collaborative book works.

5 Press are represented in a number of private and public Australian collections including the National Library of Australia (Canberra), the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the State Library of Victoria, and the University of Melbourne Lenton Parr Music, Visual and Performing Arts Library (Melbourne) and the Bibliothecha Liborum Apud Artificem, Library for the Artist’s Book, (Sydney).
