What is it that will last?

This publication offers a rich and expansive visual record of Julie Brooks artistic practice, and proposes a unique collaboration between Brook and distinct voices from the nature writing and craftsmanship traditions. Situating Brooks practice in the context of critical reflections by Robert Macfarlane, Alexandra Harris and Raku Jikiny, the publication presents a striking visual narrative of Brook's landscape and tidal sculptural work, and a sense of its timeless yet contemporary resonance. Documenting in depth a number of recent works made in the Hebrides, Japan and Namibia, their shared attention to the elements and their key pre-occupations of the fleeting, mobile forces of light, time, and gravity demonstrate Brooks coherent vision within vastly contrasting environments. Throughout her oeuvre, the balance between what Brook makes in relation to the environment and materials themselves is paramount. Including film stills, photography and drawing, which are all integral languages for conceptualising and communicating the work, plus insightful extracts from Brooks notebooks, this beautiful publication succeeds in providing the reader with a unique understanding of the artists monuments to the moment.
