{"product_id":"catherine-eaton-skinner-catherine-skinner-9781942185109","title":"Catherine Eaton Skinner: 108","description":"The number 108, a potent symbol in Buddhism, Hinduism and other Eastern spiritual traditions, has inspired the work of Seattle-based abstract painter Catherine Eaton Skinner since 2004. Best known for her encaustic paintings incorporating natural imagery, Skinner's \u003ci\u003eGya Gye\u003c\/i\u003e (Tibetan for 108) and related series represent dramatic experimentation in form, process and viewer engagement. Informed by extensive travels in Bhutan, India, Japan and elsewhere--along with her corresponding research into languages and philosophical systems--she expanded her mediums to include rope, fabric, glass, stones and found objects which she modified in unpredictable ways. Although some of the series, such as the \u003ci\u003eElements\u003c\/i\u003e paintings, retain recognizable imagery, her recent series bring 108 into the 21st century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom QR code patterns to the simple, interminable zeroes and ones of binary language, Skinner discerns pictorial aptitude in contemporary digital codes. Other series explore ancient tally marks--both Eastern and Western--and the abstracting impact of systematically repeating simplified mountains or tight details of eyes, among other universal motifs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Skinner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942185103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942185109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Radius Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.60h x 1.70w x 1.50d","brand":"Catherine Skinner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937742487807,"sku":"9781942185109","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e6e31a07-c983-44a3-8c77-d2b3238ca129.jpg?v=1681431762","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/catherine-eaton-skinner-catherine-skinner-9781942185109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
