ISBN: 978-0-473-80530-2
The inaugural publication from the DOCUMENTS imprint, Pieces delves into the archives of the late artist Vivian Lynn (1931–2018), bringing her probing writings to light for the first time. Compiled by editor Emma Fenton, who worked with the artist in her final year, the publication presents seven essays the artist composed late in life, alongside unseen notes, ephemera, illustrations and photographs from the artist’s collection. Highly regarded for her conceptually driven, materially diverse works, from complex prints to installations of human hair, Lynn played a galvanising role in the formation of feminist art practice in Aotearoa New Zealand. Yet the place of writing in her process remains little known. Through the texts in Pieces, Lynn traverses the histories and ideas that shaped her as an artist, revealing a restless ambition to pursue a model of art and an understanding of self that exceeded the constructs of her context.
