| Synopsis: |
Beautifully drawn and painted, accompanied by stories and poems, this wonderful menagerie of insects, animals and people are startling, at times frightening, but always grin-inducing over the pages. Broken Balloons is a unique and satirical take on the world, like a children's adult view of the universe that springs from a lifetime of looking at reality sideways. Welcome to Gail's world. Linger as long as you like - it can be quite contagious! From the Foreword: "The Gail Prussky Interview"I finally met Gail at the Wm Burroughs Black Meat Juice Bar. I wanted to interview her about her new book of drawings and paintings, and her handler had told me the Burroughs was her favourite watering hole in Toronto. When she came in, I waved her over to the cricket-hide stool I'd saved for her..."The way I see it, you paint and draw like a science-fiction insect. Like a creature not human...If reality is neurology - my formulation, my understanding - then your reality is non-human neurology, or rather, you've managed to become an invented creature and have created art from that invented neurology. And thus created a new reality..." |
