Mirror<br />
Elaine Wilson<br />
texts by Trevor Keeble, Matt Hearn,<br />
Sue Hubbard<br />
In Mirror Elaine Wilson explores<br />
themes of self and the ‘other’ in a<br />
series of ceramic sculptures and<br />
collages. Using the language of<br />
ornamental sculpture and figurines<br />
she retraces received notions of<br />
women and femininity. The book<br />
was associated with solo exhibitions<br />
at The Hatton Gallery and Globe<br />
Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne,<br />
and GIFT gallery, London. ‘Elaine<br />
Wilson’s work is gritty, uncomfortable<br />
and probing. It asks questions<br />
about who we are and how we see<br />
ourselves within the confines of our<br />
commodified society. Subtle, complex<br />
and multilayered, it sneaks up on us<br />
to take us by surprise, lulling us with<br />
its decorative beauty, whilst pulling<br />
a punch like an iron fist in a very<br />
elegant velvet glove.’ (Sue Hubbard)<br />

text by David Chandler<br />
photographs by John Kippin<br />
He is a publication about fathers,<br />
memory and places. It brings<br />
together writing by David Chandler<br />
together with images by John Kippin.<br />
Both create an image based on<br />
memories of their own fathers. The<br />
two different narratives wind their<br />
way in and out of one another, often<br />
offering up unexpected echoes, or<br />
images and situations that resonate<br />
strangely together. The reader is<br />
taken from place to place, through<br />
interior and exterior, and between<br />
past and present, in a way that<br />
reflects not only personal histories<br />
but also reveal something of a wider,<br />
social one. Overall the book aims to<br />
explore the ambiguities of texts and<br />
of images in revealing their stories<br />
and it has become an experiment in<br />
making a different kind of publication;<br />
one that synthesizes memory, prose<br />
and photography; that is personal,<br />
but public, truthful and recognizable,<br />
but ultimately grasping at that which<br />
is unknowable.<br />

texts by Philip Auslander, Dr. Stephanie<br />
Brown, Clive Jennings, George Chakravarthi,<br />
Matthew Hearn<br />
introductions by Andrew Hewish, Paul Stone<br />
edited by Andrew Hewish<br />
In collaboration with Art Editions<br />
North, Phantasieblume is the first<br />
in Centre for Recent Drawing’s<br />
Documents for Recent Drawing<br />
monograph series, devoted to Nick<br />
Fox’s highly charged and aesthetic<br />
practice. His seductive drawings,<br />
mirrored paintings and craft objects<br />
reveal an intoxicating blend of<br />
graphic sexual imagery and Victorian<br />
Floriography, creating elusive<br />
narratives and unsustainable utopias.<br />
Playfully inverting and personalising<br />
these subcultural and decorative<br />
languages, Fox fuses a symbolic<br />
role to themes of desire, longing<br />
and loss. This survey features works<br />
made between 2005 and 2010 and<br />
was published following the touring<br />
exhibition of the same name at<br />
Centre for Recent Drawing, London<br />
(2009), Vane, Newcastle (2010) and<br />
Hå gamle prestegard, Norway (<strong>2011</strong>).<br />
