Description
Dean's symbolically charged compositions of contemplative stillness and explosive action see humans intimately immersed in their surroundings: submerged in water, enmeshed in undergrowth, leaping from rockfaces.
Exploratory and ethereal, laden with risk and chance and adventure, her images reveal the complex interrelationships inherent in contemporary rites of passage and our connection to nature.
Her first published monograph, this book is both a retrospective of Dean's work to date and a perfect introduction for those unfamiliar with her practice. Organised chronologically by series, each introduced with a brief text by the artist, it will give readers an insight into the evolution of her work and the themes and motifs that have featured throughout her oeuvre.
