{"product_id":"moyra-davey-les-goddesses-hemlock-forest","title":"Moyra Davey: Les Goddesses\/Hemlock Forest","description":"Initially known for her work in photography--which she has been making over the last three decades--New York-based artist Moyra Davey (born 1958) is also an esteemed writer, editor and, most recently, filmmaker, whose works layer personal narratives with explorations of other authors, filmmakers and artists. This book is based on two related projects that take form as text, photography and film. \u003ci\u003eLes Goddesses\u003c\/i\u003e (2011) collapses the lives of Davey and her five sisters with those of the daughters of Mary Wollstonecraft, the 18th-century feminist writer and activist. \u003ci\u003eHemlock Forest\u003c\/i\u003e (2016) weaves references to Wollstonecraft, Chantal Akerman and Karl Ove Knausgaard with her own family stories. During the making of \u003ci\u003eHemlock Forest\u003c\/i\u003e, Akerman took her own life. Her death soon engulfed Davey's awareness, prompting a broader exploration of Akerman's and her own biographies, amid more universal themes of compulsion, artistic production, life and its passing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2285497\"\u003eMoyra Davey\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dancing Foxes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.70w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998632605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0998632600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART016010\"\u003eIndividual Artists | Artists' Books\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dancing Foxes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42666195058925,"sku":"9780998632605","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_58d71ec6-ac60-4cbe-80a1-358cd4136e6d.jpg?v=1649431370","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/moyra-davey-les-goddesses-hemlock-forest","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
