Encompassing drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, and artist's books, her work frequently involves the written word. \u003ci\u003eSeizure of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is the eighth installment in a series of artist's books by Horn and the fourth to be published by Hauser \u0026amp; Wirth Publishers, following celebrated titles such as \u003ci\u003ebird\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), \u003ci\u003eaka\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), and \u003ci\u003eWit's End\u003c\/i\u003e (2021). This meticulously designed, limited-edition publication collects a series of drawings that were inspired by a line from a monologue by the American comedian Maria Bamford: \"I am paralyzed with hope.\" Horn felt that the statement, which she describes as \"at once a silent and insidious undercurrent and an endless scream,\" resonated with contemporary anxieties, and she began to write and rewrite it, drawing over the words with a wax crayon that caused their letters to bleed. Making use of numerous gatefolds to reproduce the artist's expansive, multi-sheet drawings in precise detail, \u003ci\u003eSeizure of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is a spectacular record of Horn's arresting meditation on language, emotion, and the nature of hope.","brand":"Thames and Hudson Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043761061924,"sku":"9783907493335","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783907493335.jpg?v=1783722926","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/roni-horn-seizure-of-hope","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
