About this book
Artist Ann Hamiltons celebrated multi-venue installation is brought to the page in this striking volume that explores another facet of her work in textile and text. "Held by cloths hand we are swaddled at birth covered in sleep and wound in death " muses artist Ann Hamilton. Rather than documenting the experience of her enormous immersive 201617 installation in Philadelphia Hamilton offers here a documentone that is as much a part of the project as its three dimensional counterparts. Lush photography archival imagery and lucid prose come together to help readers understand Hamiltons ideas about the fabric of and in our lives. Like a thread through cloth these individual images and words weave together strands of history technology poetry and motion into one extraordinary and compelling experience.
