Description:
2022. Smith, Patti. Woolgathering. 64 pages, including 13 unnumbered color plates. 4to, 256 mm. x 203 mm., in original cloth binding. San Francisco, Arion Press, 2022. One of 250 numbered copies. Woolgathering is a collaboration between two contemporary creative masters: author and singer-songwriter Patti Smith and visual and sound artist Christian Marclay. Smith's first published prose work, written thirty years ago, is an incantatory memoir of the creative process and its wellspring in the world of childhood. Employing a variety of sound ephemera, acrylic LPs, and organic materials, Marclay's crystalline constructions provide a parallel visual score that reflects and refracts the rhythms of Smith's verses and tales. The Arion Press edition of Woolgathering uniquely captures their artistic kinship.
