A series of beautiful and unique, usable journals, these hardcover,
blank books each focus on a single artist, and feature a detail of
an artwork wrapped around the cover and endpapers that highlight
details from the artist’s studies or other works on paper. We
offer a variety of grid designs for the interior - lines, circles,
traditional grids - that the artist or estate hand selects for
their journal. The opening page includes a single quote about
making from each artist. The Journal series celebrates the
creativity of artists and their ability to inspire. Each edition
includes a detail of an artwork on the cover and studies or
drawings as endpapers. Produced in collaboration with the artists
or artist’s estates, The Journal series is printed in limited
editions.
Known for her intricate and distinct artistic language, Asawa
produced numerous sculptures, drawings, and prints that are built
on simple, repeated gestures that accumulate into complex
compositions. Her works on paper and "continuous" looped-wire
sculptures suggest a field of fluctuating positive and negative
forms, a means of reshaping how we perceive the world. Personal
motifs reappear throughout in the most comprehensive look at the
artist's oeuvre to date--ceramic casts of faces of her family,
friends, and neighbors; the carved front door Asawa and her family
made for their home; and drawings of her children, grandchildren,
and husband sleeping--all providing an expansive look into the
artist's life. A document of the breathtaking and surprising
exhibition Ruth Asawa: All Is Possible, organized by Helen
Molesworth, this book records and expands upon the show, offering
new insight from writers and curators with a selection of
sixty-four works from Asawa's spectacular oeuvre. With an
introduction by Molesworth, this book features focused texts from
Makeda Best, Taylor Davis, Ruth Erickson, Briony Fer, Jennifer L.
Roberts, and John Yau.
