As a regular ritual
beginning in 1997 Tess Edwards created this fascinating archive
of work, which extends across 17 books with more than 500 individual
paintings.
The original works in the prayer books are fragile, private documents
and as such are difficult to exhibit without damage. However, by
accessing the very latest pigment printing techniques and the expertise
of Pharos Editions, the images have been printed slightly larger
than life, and are now accessible as an exhibition, which can be
hung in a traditional context.
Each of the images
selected from the pages has been printed as an edition of 25 with
highly permanent pigment on archival paper 308 gram Hahnemuehle
paper.
An exhibition can be curated from the extensive archive of works
that are part of the series. This could consist of framed works,
mounted works pinned to the wall and an installation of the original
books.
Size of pigment prints:
- Paper size: 43x38 cm; Image size 26.5x 190 cm
