Claudia Madrazo: 40 Spins - Pasta blanda

The images collected in "40 Spins" were captured by photographer Claudia Madrazo over a period of five years in many different parts of the world. Organized in 20 sequences, this collection of landscapes, portraits and images of objects constitutes the highly personal logbook of a wide-ranging visual adventure. More than simply a book of photographs, the volume is a personal diary, a collection of visions and perceptions by a vital and inquisitive artist in whose work the influence of the great Mexican photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo can be felt--though her results branch out into quite unexpected directions. James Turell, master sculptor of light and space, contributes a brief foreword to this volume.
