| Summary: | Joy ride' is a simple book on the surface. A collection of renowned architect-come-artist David C. Martin's sketches, watercolours, photography and observations, as recorded over an extensive cross-Mexico sojourn, it has all the aesthetic gaiety and light-heartedness of a typical travelogue. However, there is something deeper at work. Martin's multi-media evocation of Mexican scenery and buildings speaks to his extensive experience in art and architecture, and this book will be of mutual interest to students of both, as well as those who want to explore Mexico through the eyes of a truly unique traveller. Innovative, fresh and evocative, this book will take you on the 'Joy Ride' that its title promises. |
