About this Item
1/2500. Square quarto. Unpaginated (92pp). Blind-stamped black cloth in matching slipcase."The hottest and driest of the national parks in the United States, Death Valley, with its natural contradictions (harsh climate, a plethora of life) and complex history, has long been a dark well of mystery and inspiration in which so many have sought the reflection of their own humanity. It's not surprising that Paula Thomas has ventured into this ancient desert to invoke its hidden, inherent powers. The excursion marks the completion of her own personal metamorphosis, from model to designer to entrepreneur. Born in London, it yet seems to me that Paula has somehow always connected with the feel of California. With its materiality and craftsmanship, Paula's work embraces the spirit of the American West in its rare, organic form. This book is a testament to this brave designer's critical imagination, but also a collection of images unto itself, with Paula's artistry serving as the delicate tether between the desert's incomparable solemnity and desperate beauty." (Luis A. Barajas). Profusely illustrated with b/w and partly colored reproductions of photographs showing the models Natalia & Nina in various Death Valley scenery. Minor staining on slipcase, book in fine condition. Seller Inventory # 28293
