In 2016, Fogo Island Arts published Hannah Rickards: Grey light. Left and right back, high up, two small windows, the fifth volume in the monograph series.

Hannah Rickards: Grey light. Left and right back, high up, two small windows presents documentation of Rickards’ two-screen projected video installation which had eight channels of sound. Structured rhythmically around the pattern of a foghorn sounding, the piece found its origins in the notion of the foghorn as an auditory marker for non-visibility, or imagelessness. This major work by the London-based artist was commissioned by Fogo Island Arts and presented at the Fogo Island Gallery from September 24, 2014 to April 12, 2015.

The publication features texts by Melissa Gronlund and Will Holder, a conversation between Hannah Rickards and Nicolaus Schafhausen, and striking new photographic imagery drawn from the installation’s physical materials and production process. Like Rickards’ work, the book aims to bridge the distance between visual experience and its expression in language, whether spoken, written or gestural.
