Anoka Faruqee: Field Notes
7 × 7 inches; 92 pages; 2010
This book documents the making of two of Faruqee’s paintings: “Equator” and “Corbelled Arch,” both 2010. A series of studio photographs catalogues the laborious practice of mixing dozens, sometimes hundreds of subtly shifting colors for each painting. The book tracks Faruqee’s disciplined yet surprisingly freehand painting process, as she repeats a single handmade motif across a large surface on subtly increasing curves.
