First published in 1977 and long out of print, this reprint of Slinger's classic photobook explores the feminine psyche. Developed from a visit to Lilford Hall in 1970, Slinger provides us with a series of haunting images that chart a process of self-discovery and awakening. This new edition from Fulgur Press has been expanded with new images from the original series held in the artist’s archive and offers a previously unpublished narrative by Slinger.
Penny Slinger is a Los Angeles–based artist whose work investigates the feminine, the magical and the erotic. While studying at Chelsea College of Art in the late 1960s, Slinger initiated an enduring involvement with both the Surrealist movement and the medium of collage. Penny Slinger (born 1947) works in a variety of mediums but is best known for her surrealist collage work exploring the nature of the female psyche. She has published three books of photo collage: 50% The Visible Woman, An Exorcism and Mountain Ecstasy. Her work is in many international museum collections, including Tate Britain.
