Book Description
'Mary Pratt: A Personal Calligraphy'
features ten speeches and pulished
articles, along with thirty-five essays and
reflectons that, until now, remained
hidden in her journals. Some of the
journal entries are on topical matters
such as Joey Smallwood's funeral and the
fiftieth wnniversary of Newfoundland's
Confederation with Canada.Others tell
more personal stories of growing up in
Fredricton, of juggling painting and
motherhood in Salmonier, Newfoundland,
of winters sojourn in Vancouver, of the
natural rythms of her home and garden in
St. John's. And, of course, Pratt reflects
on the images that interest her and
influence her art and on the process of
painting. Like her paintin, her writing is
accessible, yet profound. Even at its most
meditative, it is incisive and original, the
work of a powerful artist who both
celebrates and sharply examines the stuff
of daily life. Hardcover. 143 pages.
