Description

The first monograph on British artist Ptolemy Mann is a celebration of her unique weaving and painting practice and extraordinary use of colour.

British artist Ptolemy Mann's studio practice bridges weaving and painting, creating distinctive, refined and radiant wall-based work, often on a large scale. Her early work was focused on weaving, and she then turned to painting on paper, later combining the two to paint directly onto her hand-woven artworks.

Focusing on the past decade, Thread Painting features over 140 stunning, full-colour images of these three phases in Mann's artistic career, and is her first published monograph. Thread Painting includes written contributions from Ann Coxon, curator of international art at Tate Modern, and Chloe Ashby, arts critic and author. A conversation between Mann and childhood friend, artist and stage designer Es Devlin sheds light on Mann's early influences and her meticulous process.

Thread Painting is a celebration of Mann's unique work during a fascinating decade of artistic output, exploring the relationships between dye, thread, paper, paint and time.

The first monograph on British artist Ptolemy Mann is a celebration of her unique weaving and painting practice and extraordinary use of colour.

About the Author
Ptolemy Mann (b. 1972) is an artist based in East Sussex, England, who creates paintings and hand-dyed and woven artworks underpinned by intelligent colour theory. She describes her largescale, emotive work as flirting with the dynamics of restriction, control and spontaneity. Mann studied at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College, where she explored the possibilities of her chosen materials. Mann lectures regularly, writes for the magazine Selvedge, curates and has received three grants from the Arts Council of England. She is represented by Taste Contemporary in Geneva, Gallery Lau in Munich and Findlay Galleries in the USA.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
