Author Description

Ricocheting quietly between photographic landscapes, drawn abstractions and poetic recollections, Ambient Park -- the latest artist book from Shelter Press cofounder Félicia Atkinson -- assumes the form of a deferred performance. Serving as a kind of response to the French artist and experimental musician's recent sonic and visual output, the book comprises a series of film stills shot during her travels to New Mexico and Arizona, overlaid with a collection of at once crude and delicate drawings made in Australia.
