(The artist is a regular contributor to AnOther and Another Man.) The roots of her practice are there to see in Folio, illustrated by the artist’s deft use of light, framing and perspective. Leafing through the pages – which flip between full size, half size and three-quarter – one encounters the musings of an artist exploring her inner and outer worlds, with only the camera bridging the two.

The Mexican artifact, called the Olmec Cave Mask, was stolen from the Chalcatzingo archaeological site in Mexico’s Central Highlands in the 1960s.
