“Pearls” is a photographic record of Simryn Gill’s ongoing bead-making project, that was begun in 1999, in which she makes books into bead necklaces. This book brings together over sixty sets of beads, each one unique and particular to the specific volume from which it has been created. Titles as far ranging as Gandhi’s autobiography, Sylvia Path’s “The Bell Jar”, “The Beano Book” and Che Guevara’s “Bolivian Diaries” form a selection of the printed matter used by the artist to create a rich a stirring collection of objects.
Includes two short texts by the artist.
