More stunning revelations from Fanelli
Fanelli's new book is a radical departure from her previous works. Not only is it intended for adults rather than for children, but it involves new techniques such as printmaking and three-dimensional models rarely seen in Fanelli's work upto now. What is not new is her wit, her inventive imagination, her playfulness, and the depth and thoughtfulness that lie at the heart of the work.Her eye and sense of composition are faultless and her sense of what a book can be seems to expand with every new publication. There is so much food for thought in Fanelli's interpretations of the quotations in this book that one will want to revisit it again and again; it can be looked at a little at a time or in longer chunks and both are highly recommended. Is this, perhaps, the locus of the best of British art rather than the more publicity-seeking surface attraction of the usual suspects ?

Absolutely stunning!
Sara Fanelli's style is unique and beautiul, there is nothing out there like it! This book is no exception. Throughout the book, she uses famous quotes that best represent her work and her, which fits nicely in this books unussual style.

Her book is split into 5 different categories-
Devils and Angels,
Love,
Colour,
Mythology and
The Absurd.

This book is jam packed with the majority of her work. Inside is a mini book, that contains even more of her work which was a lovely surprise.
Throughout Sometimes I think, sometimes I am, is her rough designs, ink and charcoal drawings. Also her painings and scultures.
Each with gorgeous backgrounds and her use of her own hand writing as typography. This book is inspirational and a complete delight to look at.

This book is a complete treasure, dont miss out.
Thanks for reading!
