Twenty artists’ books made from crochet and clay. Each book contains one tile of twenty, referenced in an installation, Nonsuch Memory Of My Birth. The installation, artists’ books and performance, document the experiences of the artist working through the book, ‘Surviving A Borderline Parent’. The artists’ books are contained within a specially designed and built suitcase.
Joshua Raffell is an activist artist, taking an interest in power struggles, class and LGBTQIA+ stories. Coming from a canal gypsy background and being neuro divergent gives Joshua a rare perspective, an outsider on the inside.
