Part art book, part essay series, part something else entirely, The Poser is a collection of contemporary portrait re-enactments completed in the pandemic spring of 2020. The book features interviews with a selection of artists whose work was the inspiration for the series. Designed by Liz Kalloch, with a foreword by Danielle Krysa of The Jealous Curator and an introduction by Amy Tingle (who served as my “reluctant art director” for the re-enactments). The Poser is a celebration of creativity in a time of uncertainty and the power of art to both transcend reality and respond to it with hope, joy, and connection. Available exclusively on the Toad Hall Editions website (toadhalleditions dot ink)
