Description: "This gorgeous, limited edition artist's book by Nicola Dill is a 48-page 'installation' of the artist's elegant and meditative photographs of surf grasses. Unstaged and recorded in-camera, the photographs comprising this series are gestures in patience and time. The individual pieces leave the narrative aspect of photography behind, focusing on constantly changing structures and lines, preserving on film the temporary etchings created by the surf and sandy shores of the Pacific"--Publisher's description.

The hue-and-song after Patience· Have but a little patience, and you shall hear, how Patience had the gift to lie and swear how Patience cou'd with patience stand a lie (but Patience wants to stand the pillory.) Out of all patience, to the Hague he steers: to stay he had not patience, for his ears. To the tune of, Hail to the myrtle shades

Artists and scientists

Rare Books

"Since the 1960s, Kunié Sugiura has created works that challenge the conventions of traditional photography and synthesize elements of Japanese and Western aesthetics. Artists and Scientists presents work from two recent series, 'The Artist Papers' and 'The Scientist Papers', both of which consist of life-sized photograms depicting characteristic gestures, performances and actions by a variety of artists and scientists. Here Sugiura emphasizes the inherent temporal qualities of the photogram to capture events that are, as Bill Arning wrote in the catalogue for a recent survey of the artist's work, 'here/not-here and now/not-now'. For Sugiura, the photogram provides the means to capture 'identity through action' and to objectify a virtual realm in which the past is recorded through the reversal of shadows"--Publisher's description.
