David Sherry: Stone Book

15 × 18 cm, stone, 700gr
Edition: 1, 2013

“I started to think about my artist’s book - that doesn’t exist, what it would be and how would it look? Would it be an archival book looking back over my work, or a piece of art in itself, something new and lively? A promotional tool I could send to people or a statement of intent, a milestone. Would it have a meandering text? And when it’s done I would send it proudly to Mum and Dad. I spent some weeks looking around for the right stone. I found a piece of granite in a dry stonewall in my local park in Glasgow, I pulled it out with some excitement. I washed it, then took it to my studio and painted it white a few times. Then I was ready to begin my artist’s book. Then it cracked in transit ‘recorded delivery’ to Austria, shit! But I liked it, complementing the works inside.”
