Seller's Description:
Good+/Good+ (areas of dampstaining to upper, side & lower board/spine spine edges; navy cloth discolored to a light blue. opening & closing pg edges will have light dampstaining, majority of text appears unscathed, though there may be light instances.... Navy cloth boards, color-illustrated and black dust jacket with white lettering. 134 pp. Color illustrations. Photo is of a previous copy; this copy is not sealed in publisher's wrap. Other than the dampstaining, this remains a sharp and bright copy."For the past ten years, Birch has been documenting the African American culture of his native New Orleans in large-scale sculpture and drawings that emphasise body language, dress codes, and everyday rituals. His guileless polychrome sculptures evoke both social history and emotion. His use of talismans give the viewer a window to another time, be it through old construction nails symbolising power and strength to a small West African paper mach, stool that stands apart as a symbol of nobility. Dedicated to the children of New Orleans, this is the first publication to examine Birch's career whose re-imagining of African and Southern folk art inspires thought provoking discussions as well as contemporary sculpture and design. It includes two essays and an interview with the artist, as well as colour reproductions of key works dating from 1968-2004."--Amazon.
