New writing by Lily Petch. 24 pages.
Lily Petch is a visual artist currently in her final undergraduate year at The Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her practice ruminates upon the capacity writing has to outlive the human form, implying inscription to remain as the last marker of personal essence. She is informed contextually by the history of language systems, particularly the shift from proto-sumerian pictograph to codified signs of logo syllabic cuneiform. This research takes material form in Petch’s practice through book-centric installations, wax cylinder sound recording, photography, bookbinding and poetry.
