From this unexpected encounter, the two embarked on an expansive and ranging collaboration, fuelled by high-speed conversations about art, books, and their shared attempts to understand the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'It feels like we both use portraiture to get at something deeper', Laing writes in one of the ten essays collected here. Combining these texts with a dazzling sequence of paintings by Joffe, Painting Writing Texting explores the strange and risky process by which everyday life is converted into art. More than a record of two artists' lives, it is an account of friendship itself, and the magical cross-pollination that can occur between words and images.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover | 144 pages | 8.4\" x 10\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chantal Joffe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48858939490536,"sku":"9781917651301x","price":90.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/files\/BNCImageAPI_778b12ce-8f6a-4f25-8a8f-9a776a4cffb6.jpg?v=1786049760","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.ca\/products\/9781917651301","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
