Flip Hattingh Joanne of Ark
Joanne of Ark is a lighthearted book by Flip Hattingh with a brass cover made by a plumber and assembled by The Artists' Press. The artist worked at The Artists' Press at the beginning of winter at The Bag Factory. The studio was built as a factory/warehouse and had no proper heating or insulation. This artists' book was produced under harsh working conditions! However, the book is beautifully illustrated with rich areas of saturated colour and glints of gold leaf. The brass cover picks this up.
