Publisher's Synopsis
This limited edition artist’s book features reproductions of Rachel Howard’s pure abstract canvases and figurative works. The abstract works elicit an immediate visceral emotional response, whilst the more figurative pieces make a play for the mind. By layering and interweaving these elements to create a whole, Howard pulls together the corporeal and the cerebral.
Exploring our ever present need to make sense of our existence Can’t Breathe Without You is a search for answers and a search for reassurance in the absence of answers, be it through religion of the mundane. It includes reproductions of the sin painting series from the exhibition Guilty at the Bohen Foundation New York (2003/4) and a short introductory text by the artist entitled So Who Made God? There is also a longer essay by Deborah Orr, award-winning columnist for The Independent newspaper.
