1st. Ed. Pub. Jane Anaskha. 2017 pp.26 plus 14 colour giclee prints. Large 4to. Hardback. Hand-made book, printed and bound by Jane Anashka. Bound in light umber cloth boards with warm umber spine. Fine condition. Housed in matching clamshell box, also in fine condition. Copy No. 2 from the limited edition, signed by Jane Anashka and dated August 2017.
A wonderful work. Jane and her working partner John (Jay) Cowie ‘look for designs within the translucent skeletal strucure of wild plants’. In doing so, they capture ‘moments of growth and decay - so the art is truly of the plants themselves. In April 2016 ‘House and Garden’ Editor, Clare Foster wrote ‘Jane Anashka and John Cowie make images of flowers like no others. Working mainly with wildflowers, they carefully press the blooms before photographing them, capturing the intricacies after pressing has made them translucent.’.
