Miriam Stannage: Time Framed provides analysis on this important contemporary artist’s work, exploring her use of words and symbols, and the concept of vision in all of its senses.
This survey presents Stannage’s works, many of which have not been seen publicly, and documents the media she has worked in, specifically installation, photography, painting, video, prints and drawings, and artist’s books.
This book accompanies the exhibition Miriam Stannage: Survey 2006-2016 held at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery.
