London: Orion, 2014. Book. Very Fine. Hardcover. Signed Without Inscription. First Edition/First Printing. Now in protected jacket, signed 'Kate Mosse' to the title page. Sussex, 1912. In a churchyard, villagers gather on the night when the ghosts of those who will die in the coming year are thought to walk. Here, where the estuary leads out to the sea, superstitions still hold sway. Standing alone is the taxidermist's daughter. At twenty-two, Constantia Gifford lives with her father in a decaying house: it contains all that is left of Gifford's once world-famous museum of taxidermy. The stuffed birds that used to grace every parlour are out of fashion, leaving Gifford a disgraced and bitter man. The string of events that led to the museum's closure are never spoken of and an accident has robbed Connie of any memory of those days. The bell begins to toll and all eyes are fixed on the church. No one sees the gloved hands holding a garotte. As the last notes fade into the dark, a woman lies dead. While the village braces itself against rising waters and the highest tide of the season, Connie struggles to discover who is responsible - and why the incident is causing memories to surface from her own vanished years. Does she know the figure she sees watching from the marshes? Who is the mysterious caller that leaves a note without being seen? And what is the secret that lies at the heart of Blackthorn House, hidden among the bell jars of her father's workshop?., Orion, 2014, 5, Santa Monica: Santa-Monica Museum of Art , 1993. Text: English. 110 p.; ill.; 19 x 25,5 cm; 500g. Kim Abeles was born in Richmond Heights, Missouri in 1952. " My work from the past two decades results from the urban experience, chronicling historical and contemporary issues housed in sculpture and installation. Data gathering, library research, and experimentation with unconventional materials are predominant methods of investigation in my artworks' development. I typically approach social issues through "portraits" of individuals transformed into broader themes; or, I create sculptural contraptions to collect visual or auditory data over an extended period of time. In both cases, the collected "facts" become elements from which I create artworks, and the process itself is materialized. The urban environment, feminism, aging, HIV/AIDS, and labor are some of the specific issues I have engaged through my work. In all cases, materials and form are inspired connections to my intellectual pursuits. I am a concept-seeker and an object-maker. The work emerges from my hands as both feminine and masculine, seeking objective and subjective realities, and spoken in a visual language of the poetic spirit. " - Kim Abeles: Encyclopedia Persona, A Fifteen-Year Survey was initiated and sponsored by the Fellows of Contemporary Art in 1993, as a mid-career survey curated by Karen Moss and organized by the Santa Monica Museum of Art. Following its United States venues, the exhibition began its tour of South America funded by the United States Information Agency (U.S.I.A.), opening at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Santiago, Chile and culminating in 1997 at the Centro Cultural Consolidado, Caracas.
