Patrick Farmer Close Eclogues on Tiptoe (2018)
Close Eclogues on Tiptoe is an epistolary experiment that recalls the author’s visit to Mass an exhibition by the artist Lotti V Closs in 2016. Drawing on the ‘character’ inherent in Closs’s sculptural practice, Close Eclogues on Tiptoe uses the work as a structural device that brings together various literary, compositional, visual, scientific, and sonic references. Moving away from the literary form of the letter as a means of drawing the sender and recipient closer, the protagonists in Close Eclogues on Tiptoe experience a division or estrangement, a void that allows them to stand back from themselves and witness their own disappearance. Risograph; 188 pp; sort cover; 203x145mm. Limited edition of 100.

Oscillate: Evan Parker, Matthew Herbert, Kaffe Matthews, and Mira Calix.
Emerging from a series of public artist talks of the same name at Turner Contemporary in Margate, the writings in Oscillate serve as fascinating literary counterpoints to the artists’ practices, giving valuable insight into the creative process and conceptual context for their work. Collectively, the diverse writings in Oscillate highlight the role that experimental art plays in both reflecting and influencing the cultural arena in which it is made and experienced. As such, the project represents a important addition to contemporary writings in the field of contemporary music and sound.
Published in collaboration with the School of Music and Performing Arts at Canterbury Christ Church University. Edited by Robert Stillman. Risograph printed in an edition of 300, A5, 50 pages.

Patrick Farmer Yew Grotesque
Farmer has been working on this book for the last year as part of a joint commission from Sound and Music and Forestry Commission England. It was developed during a series of week-long residential trips to Grizedale Forest, Cumbria, where Farmer resided in a log cabin and spent time walking the forested area between Coniston Water and Lake Windermere. This direct relationship between the forest and the book is veiled, though the underlying presence is integral to its makeup.
