A Kunstlerroman by British contemporary artist Sue Webster, which
combines personal memoir with an exploration of the ongoing
influence of youth, music, and Siouxsie and the Banshees on her
life and work. Emanating from a poignant unpacking of objects and
memories--which Webster has turned into a private exhibition to
coincide with the publica-tion--this book positions the Banshees
and the artist herself alongside visual references to everyone from
David Bowie and the Sex Pistols to William Burroughs and Salvador
Dali--using the Banshees and the punk scene amid which she grew up
as an entry point to reflect on the cultural and personal
evolutions of the last decades. More than 300 illustrations combine
ephemera with artwork and reveal the connection between influence
and art: objects documenting her fanaticism of the Banshees, from
record covers and photographs to ticket stubs and lyrics;
paraphernalia from books, artists, and cultural figures that relate
to the Banshees and that world of 1970s and early 1980s post-punk;
personal effects from diary pages to unseen photographs; and
selected artworks by Sue Webster and longtime partner Tim Noble.
