From An Elsewhere Unknown – Sian Bonnell

Removed from the domestic environment, Sian Bonnell’s objects – jelly moulds, colanders, plates and glasses – are charged with an energy whose imaginary sources we can only guess at. From an Elsewhere Unknown, the British artist’s first major monograph with essays by Mark Haworth-Booth and Mel Gooding, brings together a number of mysterious and beautiful tableaux which are transformed by the magical alchemy of photography.

Mark Haworth-Booth is one of Britain’s leading authorities on mainstream international photography and is the former Senior Curator of Photographs at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. He is Visiting Professor of Photography at the University of the Arts London and a freelance curator and writer.

Mel Gooding is one of the UK’s most respected writers on the visual arts whose informed criticism spans the last twenty five years. He has written extensively on abstract art and his writings have been published worldwide in numerous publications and periodicals.
