Background
Background
Her bookwork often responds to works of literature by writers such as Eugène Ionesco. She has produced a number of fine press artist books, in which her prints combine with letterpress text. One such book, Le vierge, le vivace et le bel aujourd'hui (French: The virgin, the vivacious and the beautiful today) by Stéphane Mallarmé, illustrated by Myshkin's wood engravings, was produced in 2012 with letterpress printer Caren Florance (Ampersand Duck). It was collected by University of Melbourne Special Collections and the Bibliothèque nationale de France as well as private collections. Her works have been shown in major galleries including the National Gallery of Australia, and other of her livres d'artiste have been acquired by the British Library, Queensland State Library and the Australian National University Library.
Myshkin attended the Canberra School of Art from 1989, studying under Gillian Mann and Jorg Schmeisser. In 1996 she was an Artist in Residence in the ANU School of Art Edition and Artist Book Studio with Dianne Fogwell and Petr Herel.
