The limited edition of "Closer" will include the new printing of the hardcover book, slipcased, with a colour print of the cover photograph. An immersion into the intimate world of the artist and her family, "Closer" was first published in 2002 and the hardcover edition of 1500 copies sold out quickly. The book has not been available in hardcover in over 5 years. The revised edition includes a new foreword by art critic Vince Aletti (tbc). At once intensely personal yet universally accessible, these photographs reflect the colors, forms, and details of everyday life.
