Tielt Lannoo 2007. . Gebonden Hardcover 128pp goed geillustreerd. nieuw staat ! ISBN 9789020968057. Kalmthout is steeds een aantrekkingspool geweest voor kunstschilders. Het typische karakter van de Antwerpse Kempen stimuleerde bij vele kunstenaars de drang tot het realistisch weergeven van de woeste natuur. Deze kunstenaars waaronder Jacques Rosseels Isidore Meyers Adrien-Joseph Heymans Theodore Baron en Florent Crabeels troffen elkaar te Kalmthout en samen vormden ze de 'Kalmthoutse School'. Vaak wordt deze School ook 'Grijze School' genoemd vanwege hun voorliefde voor grijze en zilverachtige tinten. Ze groeide uit tot een begrip en doorstaat moeiteloos de vergelijking met de 'School van Barbizon' de 'School van Tervuren' de 'Dendermonde School' e.a.- Deze enige monografie over de Kalmthoutse School verschijnt naar aanleiding van de retrospectieve tentoonstelling te Kalmthout.

The book forms a cumulative evolving portrait of a British artist through a diversity of media including sculpture the photocopier light projections computer and the microscope. In 1987 she was shortlisted for the Turner Prize. Beginning with a series of photo-sculptures she depicts her growth from the incubator to adulthood. In an enterprise called Of Mutability she has suspended her own image in a sea of organic form and decay. In a series of light projections she places herself close to her mother and against the backdrop of the city and the State in an attempt to discover the core of her cultural heritage. Finally in her Viral Landscapes she derives her imagery from her own cellular structure. With the computer she mixes her internal landscape with images of the natural coastline with a view that is simultaneously microscopic and macroscopic New York Aperture 1989 hardcover
