Description

This attractive clothbound monograph surveys the career of Vancouver artist Elspeth Pratt, whose colorful sculptures using “poor” materials such as cardboard, polystyrene, balsa wood and vinyl occupy a terrain somewhere between architectural maquettes and the abstractions of Richard Tuttle.
