Publisher's Description
Second Edition.
A meander through my practice to date. A book about: photography, teaching, language, failure, mothering, messes, machines, humility, travel, influences, and art practice.
"Meggan Gould’s Sorry, No Pictures is many things: it’s 20 years of photography-based work; a treatise on the nature of art-making, a memoir, a skillful meshing of visual and text-based pieces; and it’s an inspirational narrative of perseverance as a maker. Sorry, No Pictures explores the artist’s relationship with the medium, and specifically with its ever-evolving technology, over time. The complexity and sophistication of Sorry, No Pictures mirrors Gould, who as a visual artist, educator, writer, and mother, has lived many lives all at once. Published in 2021, Sorry, No Pictures offers a beautiful and ultimately hopeful narrative that art-making, by its nature, involves failure, change, and transcendence." — Mary Goodwin of Waltz Books
