Loie Hollowell: Plumb Line

$55.00
$55.00

Made on the occasion of a solo exhibition of work by New York-based painter Loie Hollowell, Plumb Line features reproductions and installation images of nine large-scale paintings that explore the artist’s relationship with the maternal body.

Poems by Iris Cushing run throughout the book and die-cut and colored pages evoke the biomorphic paintings’ breaching of boundaries between the illusory and the real. An art historical essay by Emma Enderby, a conversation between the artist and Elissa Auther, and Hollowell’s own sketchbook pages provide indispensable context.
