The silence of the house. The cold silence of the day.
A beautiful new book from acclaimed writer Julia Blackburn and artist Tessa Newcomb.
Julia Blackburn and Tessa Newcomb live near each other in rural Suffolk. Around fifteen years ago, they conceived a book which would include Tessa’s drawings of objects and animals in Julia’s home and garden, accompanied by a short sentence or two from Julia. Distracted by other projects, the book was quietly abandoned. In 2021, finding themselves solitary and in lockdown as the world spun with the confusion of the Coronavirus pandemic, Julia and Tessa revived the book. Tessa painted delicate watercolours inspired by Julia’s objects – a little still life from a window ledge, a bookcase, a table, transforming it into something beyond its own simple self. Julia responded with new words. The result is Thoughts in a House, a quiet gaze, an introspective meditation of small things.
The first 200 copies are numbered and signed by the authors (available while stocks last).
