HARRIS, LIZ (GROUPER) - Divide

"Divide is the long-awaited book of drawings and an accompanying video by Liz Harris, aka Grouper. Harris visual work runs in parallel to her music as Grouper, and often overlaps into the same vision. Divide maps out dense organic patterns, passages filled to the edges with overgrowth and fractured geometry. Minimal strokes are taken to maximal repetitions to form complex mazes in high contrast. Other images float in space like hex symbols from prehistory, portals to some other place & time. The accompanying video (with soundtrack) of black & white Rorschach voids should be familiar to anyone who has seen a recent Grouper show. Book is 7 by 7", 60 pages, soft cover with a color cover & black and white images. DVDR is all regions. Edition of 500 copies only" - Root Strata.
