Fresh off the press, we have a couple of signed copies of Milli Jannides's new book 'The tip of the tongue'!

Full to the brim with lush images and insightful text, this beautiful book looks to her process driven paintings which investigate 'how figurative language conjures images and how oil paint can translate ideas, moods or places to the canvas.', accompanied by two texts, from Victoria Wynne-Jones and Toyah Webb.

We have a couple of signed copies of Milli Jannides's new book 'The tip of the tongue' !

One of our most beautiful titles in store is Nox by Anne Carson.

An accordion-fold-out ā€œbook in a boxā€ created after the death of her brother. This profound work on loss and grief moves across modes of language and image through translation, poetry, and personal archive photo collections.

A collectors item for those who similarly adore Carsonā€™s genius.

We can't wait for our weekend long ikebana installation, taking place in our store, Saturday and Sunday, 29th & 30th of August.

Hour by hour, under the care of master artist Keiko Murakami and her students, we will watch their avant garde artistry take shape. Held in celebration of the one-hundred-year anniversary of the Sogetsu branch of their craft, there will also be a live Japanese Calligraphy performance on the Sunday at 1.30pm.

So pop in and out or stay for the day. Weā€™ll be here soaking it all up!
