"Deer Boy" a new artist's book by Hung Liu and Michael McClure. This book is published by Magnolia Press. Hung Liu's "Deer Boy," an artist's book combining images by Hung Liu with poetry by Michael McClure, was inspired by the artist's encounters with two fallen deer. In November of 2008, Liu was taking a morning walk in the Oakland hills when she saw a prone deer. The artist stopped and borrowed her husband's cell phone to capture the image. She walked around the animal, photographing it from various angles. Later, while making drawings based on these photographs, the artist says she had the same sense that the deer was flying or dancing, as if caught in the performance of a sequence of ethereal movements. |
