Unfolding Together by Odette Graskie

Odette developed UNFOLDING TOGETHER, a portraiture activity and colouring book. The book explores the complexity of portraiture researched in her MA dissertation Portraiture as Intervention: Drawing the Dialogical Relationship between Artist, Sitter and Artwork. UNFOLDING TOGETHER is a portraiture activity and colouring book. Based on her performative Drawing Sessions, the book guides readers to draw portraits using the rules made up for her by her portrait subjects. The book is filled with prompts to encourage portrait-making with colouring, tearing and sewing, among other activities. 

This artist’s book’s first iteration is sold in a limited edition of 83, with a special Secret Belgian Binding, unique inner pages and two pocket inserts of special larger drawings.
