Shannon Bool. Bomb Shell

The publication under consideration on the work of Shannon Bool is, in many respects, an exploration of the importance of looking. Bool's approach to her art is a multidisciplinary one, comprising tapestries, carpets, photograms, sculptures, installations and painting. It combines media used in the fine arts with techniques and materials to which recourse has only been incidental in the traditional history of art. Her very method of proceeding is indicative of her feminist perspective, something which does not submit to an authoritative interpretation. Her projects revolve around phenomena pertaining to society, the history of art or architecture; they allow for a novel way of looking at things in order to question our customary habits of perception.
