Place - Kurt Jackson

The book documents the Place Project - a collaboration between the visual artist Kurt Jackson and 30- plus contemporary writers. Jackson invited each writer to choose, and then justify in words a Place in Britain. Then, in an epic series of journeys Jackson visited and worked at each chosen location responding with a series of paintings, drawings and sculptures.Contents:Introduction: Kurt Jackson;
