Anna McCarthy's artist book is a collection of her popular pencil drawings of amorphous figures. These sentient forms trickle and ooze their way through different states of equilibrium; some resemble self-contained fountains, clouds, or gusts of wind, while others have formed groups that seem to be planning something, communicating in fields of pylons and mountain landscapes. They are endearing with their big eyes and friendly, doughy, cloud-like appearance, carrying sandwich lunchboxes, melting over and spilling into structures, morphing, and possibly disrupting the geometry of lines in pylons. The silver impregnation on the cover of this book depicts a bronze sculpture that McCarthy produced during her residency at the Fonderia Artistica Battaglia in Milan in 2024. This sculpture, like her drawings, trickles and oozes, seemingly giving birth to the figures within this publication.
