Absolutely delighted to share that my work exploring alchemy and the symbolic imagination is included in MAGIC: Beyond the Supernatural in Contemporary Art, a new book by the brilliant Dr Amy Hale, published by Tate this October.⁣
⁣
Bringing together 45 international contemporary artists, the book explores the enduring presence of magic, alchemy and occult practices in contemporary art, and the many ways these offer alternative ways of understanding and engaging with the world.⁣
⁣
It’s a real pleasure to be included in such extraordinary company, and huge congratulations to Amy, whose research and writing continue to open up important conversations around art, magic and esoteric knowledge. I can’t wait to see the finished book!⁣
