Description: Taking the major 2012 work 'S-O-M-E-O-N-E' as both its title piece and a point of embarkation, this book offers the first substantial overview of the recent practice of Australian artist Laith McGregor. The book assumes the similarly rigorous and rambling quality that has come to characterise McGregor's scroll-like drawings, idiosyncratic sculptures, and painted gestures, honing its focus on a selection of key works created during the last five years. Made in close collaboration with the artist, it offers an at once critical and playful expression of a practice that is psychic, layered, and highly personal in its scope.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
