Date: November 4 – December 13, 2014
Description: Spine is an artist book project by Victoria-based visual artist Anne Steves that combines her drawing and thread-based studio practice with an interest in the act of string figure making.
Steves has been researching the history of string figures and the attempts by anthropologists to document these momentary forms and their use in discussions of contemporary scientific and philosophical thought. During her Resource Centre production residency she will use this information as inspiration to explore her own relationship and understanding of string figures as she creates an artist book in the Open Space environment. Steves will have access to the Open Space publication design and printing facilities as well as the production consultation of Flask Publishing, a partner in the project.
Visit Steves in the gallery during her residency to find out more about the art of string figures and to learn a bit more about how she will interpret this compelling form of communication into a limited edition artist book
