The People's Library 2018

22/01/2025

Author and collaborator Tracey Diggins' book number 111 in the People's Library is about to be republished as a gloriously-produced, limited edition artist's book. Exquisitely designed to be held close, this book weaves poetry, love and loss into volumes of pattern, both manifest on the page and imprinted on memory. Re-published by Tracey and her collaborators at OUTSIDE THE BOX / Earth Arts Rights
Pre-orders for REPEAT PATTERN are now open with delivery scheduled for the end of March 2025. All proceeds from the sale of REPEAT PATTERN will be used in the development and delivery of OUTSIDE THE BOX / Earth Arts Rights projects.

Congratulations Tracey and all at OTB for yet another beautiful publication ready to emerge from the Artists Box.
