Back to the Start

Description:


The book features essays from close associates, and follows Belinda's journey through her work as a printmaker, an independent artist, a collaborative ceramicist, and a sculptor. Fox has undergone numerous artist residencies, and is the recipient of dozens of prizes, awards, and grants. She is continually improving on her art forms, methods of expression, and her collection of inspirations and influences. Here, Fox presents the fragility of life and its simultaneous unfathomable solidity through the lens of the journey of the individual. This is 'Back to the Start.'
