The Truth and Untruth of Stones

Lucy Skaer lives on the Isle of Lewis. She is an artist who works with sculpture, film, print and drawing. Her work slows ideas down to abstractions and makes them concrete. This book has been conceived as a moment in time. The sculptures that appear in its pages have been rephotographed to allow them to exist anew in book form, alongside recent photographs of surroundings, events and landscapes from the artist’s life. The images were then given to two writers to respond to directly. What emerges is ‘a space that contains her various sensibilities on pages partitioned, like rooms or chambers’, now receding in time.
