| Summary: | "For over three decades, Mark Woods' practice has produced elaborate artefacts that blur the boundaries between jewellery, fine art, fetish objects and items from cabinets of curiosities. Unnerving and evocative, the viewer is confronted with exquisite beauty, sophisticated craftsmanship and an awakening of unexpected emotions. Woods' works invite you to leave your comfort zone and question human desire. This is the first monograph on the work of Woods, featuring a range of media including sculpture, installation, photoraphy and jewellery making. The book features new essays and conversations about his work by leading art critics Paul Carey-Kent, Michael Petry and Peter Suchin, who offer individual and sometimes contradictory responses to Woods' world of objects and imagery."--back cover. |
