ONE OF ONLY 10 HAND DRAWN COPIES (AND 3 A/PS) OF THIS CONCEPTUAL DOCUMENT ALL UNIQUE WITHIN THE SERIES

McCrone, Laurie
UNTITLED (MDMA)
21 x 15cm, 8pp self cover. Graphite and white ink on digital print out on heavy card, staples. A hand-made artist's book by McCrone based on the exhibition catalogue - for her first ever solo show. The book is exactly as the catalogue for the exhibition at Heart Gallery only every letter in the original (whether in the essay or the various legends on the images) has been replaced with a single vertical mark made by McCrone. Decidely a fitting and representative work for an artist who denotes the missing and the insignificant. McCrone has said ” Mark making is an act of faith. The importance is not that  each mark is seen but that it is there.” The book is strangely beautiful with the numerous slight marks from McCrone's pencil and pens creating an abstract image on most pages and a hint of the disappearance of something important throughout. Issued in an.edition of 10 + 3 not for sale hors commerce copies with each book being unique within the series. Issued jointly with a copy of the original catalogue it is based on - each book is signed and numbered. (The digital inks employed are guaranteed by the manufacturer to last at least 75 years without significant fading)
