About the Book
“Cover my ears, let me hear with yours.”
An absence - be it loss, or lack, or impossibility, a person, a place, a time - is often felt strongly enough that it becomes, in itself, a presence. To observe and describe such presence - in either oneself or others - is the aim of this group project. 17 artists - including notables like Steve Jansen, Chris Bigg, Shaun Evans and Julie Massy - contributed images and written word.
Apart from supplying the theme, we did not give the artists any direction. The result is a motley patchwork of a book, both style- and media-wise - which is exactly what we hoped to achieve. Each individual contribution is a treasure in itself - but the striking difference of perspectives made for a welcome side effect.
