About this title

Synopsis

Featuring the artists: David Bellingham, John Bevis, Thomas A. Clark and Laurie Clark, Les Coleman, Simon Cutts, Stephen Duncalf, Martin Fidler, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Brian Lane, Robert Lax, Stuart Mills, Martin Rogers, Colin Sackett, Erica Van Horn, Steve Wheatley, this book contains a foreword by Simon Cutts and essays by John Bevis, Harry Gilonis. This catalogue for the exhibition Certain Trees at Centre des livres d'artistes, Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, is a survey of the interaction of the earlier printed work of Tarasque and Coracle Press with Ian Hamilton Finlay and Wild Hawthorn Press, and their close associations with a scattering of other artists. Providing an anecdotal history and a limited anthology of parts which shows linked concerns and sensibilities, this book hints at a very singular development of the book, poem and object as used by these participants.
