First and only Edition. Z�rich, June 2012. This is Copy "P" of the 26 lettered copies and bears the title: "till human voices wake us and we drown". The Mind Rags is a series of twenty-six paintings lettered from A to Z in reverence of the glorious achievements of Literature in English. Executed in monochrome, they reflect their subject: black ink on paper, triggering the imaginative colours of and echoing the sound waves in the mind. The paintings present themselves like opened books. A line from the book of reference gives the artwork its title. Materials used in the series are canvas and silicone rubber: old and new. Also, this choice allows for both sides to be completely different and still create a unity. Though the canvases could be framed to show both sides, the artist has chosen to hide one in order to simulate a reader's experience of uncharted country upon turning a page. Framed in hand-made dark anthracite wood, the paintings honour the idea of the ship, its sail, its people, and the voyage. It is the aim of the artist to see the world as in perpetual chaos; with any book giving it a certain order through different ages: surfacing, time and again, caressingly. You can download a catalogue of all the works (still) available to date at ygrbooks.

Store Description

We run our business over the internet and AbeBooks. Any requests can be made in writing to us via AbeBooks. We issue catalogues that you can view and download. We also sell art, music and toys, should you want a change from books ... Please note that our rating on AbeBooks is totally arbitrary: we have not had a single return in the last 30 years and made all of our customers very happy. However, if we do not sell a book in six months our rating goes down. This is an AbeBooks idiocy that we have addressed many times, but to no avail. Just be assured that if you do not like an item you bought from us, we will always compensate you in full. So far this has not ever happened.
