New Life

A book by Francis Reynolds

Labor Omnia Vincit, 2024

“The outlines for the clothes and curtains are all surface—or they’re all depth. When a streak of paint intends a shadow, it does so through an addition of material that marks a subtraction of space. In two-dimensional works, surface is all we ever get. Depth is an illusion. And folds are a special kind of artistic illusion: they feel organic, almost alive, whether they drape over a table, a column, or a body. Folds show an attention to the world, as a fold of fabric conceals at the same time that it adorns. And behind adornment lies desire.”

The catalog for New Life, the solo exhibition at Tamarind Institute, April 9-18, 2024. Features the essay, “A Second Skin,” by John Washington. 

48 pages, 6x9 inches, saddle-bound. Printed at Starline Press in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
