About the Item

"#224 – ABANDONED, SEPARATED" is from Amy Williams' series A Farewell to Arms – wherein the artist works directly onto page 224 of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from the page to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to the text of the poem. Made in response to the novel coronavirus, COVID-19 viral contagion, and the impact of sudden isolation on intimacy, family, friendship and community. Here the poem reads: "Abandoned / separated / dealing in death." Note the coronavirus form itself, outlined in colors red and silver, swimming in a blue field. From Amy Williams – "My recent work is focused on making treated book pages using a found vintage copy of "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway. I was inspired by Tom Phillips' "A Humument", and I'm working my way through each page of Hemingway's book. I select specific words and phrases to create a poem, then I create artwork to embellish the page. The final product is both poetry and visual art." Amy Williams is a photographer and mixed media artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1977, Williams received her BFA from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999. Trained in traditional photographic methods, Williams continues to embrace these techniques despite the digital revolution of the photography world. Her photographs have been featured in the French art magazine Frog, as well as the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City. Williams has exhibited extensively at 440 Gallery in Brooklyn and has been included in two group shows at Galerie de Multiples in Paris, France. Her work is in corporate and private collections in New York, Washington D.C., Paris France, and Dijon France.
