Two Hands ClappingA beautiful art book, TWO HANDS CLAPPING is a unique collaboration - a book of drawings by artist Alexandra Rozenman, accompanied by a series of poems directly inspired by these drawings. There is a quality of strangeness about Alexandra's work, an 'otherness', something surreal, delicate, fleeting that invites fantasy. 'Every picture tells a story' the saying goes, and these really do, but the stories are as complex and disturbing as our dreams. Who are the wiry bird-like creatures, tragi-comic in their awkward postures, that inhabit this world? What is that dripping through the ceiling? Sky? Tears? And are those eyes lying on the floor? The poems by Grace Andreacchi suggest but don't dictate: in this book you're invited, through pictures and poetry, to form your own answers to these questions. |
