Description: The first monograph on British artist Ptolemy Mann is a celebration of her unique weaving and painting practice and extraordinary use of colour. British artist Ptolemy Mann's studio practice bridges weaving and painting creating distinctive refined and radiant wall - based work often on a large scale. Her early work was focused on weaving and she then turned to painting on paper later combining the two to paint directly onto her hand - woven artworks. Focusing on the past decade Thread Painting features over 140 stunning full - colour images of these three phases in Mann's artistic career and is her first published monograph. Thread Painting includes written contributions from Ann Coxon curator of international art at Tate Modern and Chlo Ashby arts critic and author. A conversation between Mann and childhood friend artist and stage designer Es Devlin sheds light on Mann's early influences and her meticulous process. Thread Painting is a celebration of Mann's unique work during a fascinating decade of artistic output exploring the relationships between dye thread paper paint and time.
