Nanette Wylde: Encyclopedic: Weathered Volumes, New Book Works
An exhibition of a ten volume set of encyclopedias turned into art objects by first painting them pure white. After exhibiting them a few times these were put outside in the garden where they were left for several decades.
When the books reached an aesthetically pleasing degree of decay they were brought indoors and documented to create this conceptual body of work, Encyclopedic: Weathered Volumes.
Series of 20 views presented as archival pigment prints on Arches in an edition of five each.
Reception on Friday, February 9, 5–7pm
