Hereford, UK I made three different artist's books for this An Inventory of Al-Mutanabbi Street because I did not feel my response could be contained in one. Al-Mutanabbi Street, 2012, Murder and Mayhem, 2012, Stains, 2012. I wanted to convey something of the raw devastation caused by the car bomb, and the lasting effect it has had. While responding to the universal issues, I thought of my nearest street of booksellers in Hay-on-Wye, known for its literary festival and its bookshops, and of the community that is relevant to all bookshops on any street anywhere. 244 x 157 x 6 mm, Medium: Kozu 34gsm, pomegranate, Fabriano Artistico 300gsm, Fabriano Ingres 160gsm. www.burntbarn.co.uk pauline@burntbarn.co.uk |
