The Rapture of Death is a philosophical enquiry into the use of deathly imagery in contemporary art. It explores art and also literature, film and history to investigate why fear of death is an intrinsic part of life. This non fiction art book is a protracted, personal and an accessible essay into the meaning of mortal fear and its related symbols, myths, rhapsodies, warnings and curious obsessions.”

A book written by Prue Gibson and designed / printed by Boccalatte. On sale here.

“All of us walk around with phrases, song lyrics, or deep-seated desires swimming around in our minds. If given the opportunity to “say anything”, we ask, ‘What Wood You Say‘”?”

So all you have to do is dream up the phrase and Singh will carve it into a tailor-made art object or gift! (Pricing starts at $5 a character, with 50 character maximum). You can order here.

What Wood You Say stems from the amazing ITSOK project.
