The book is a screenplay of the film, weaving the commentary of friends and figures such as Jools Holland, Brian Clarke and Martin Harrison with reproductions of Finch's art.\u003cbr\u003eFrom her life-changing accident and rural solitude to the mad social whirl of anarchic performances in '80s London and up to the present day, \u003ci\u003eThe Romance of Bricks\u003c\/i\u003e sews together archival film over many years to produce an intriguing glimpse into the private world of the artist.\u003cbr\u003eFinch's figurative work explores themes of the unconscious based on early childhood perception and a preoccupation with the ordinary. She subverts the norm to see things as they are, not by the usual conventions. The result is humorous, somewhat haunting and poetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liz Finch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912122456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912122455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heni Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.90h x 8.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Liz Finch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437134524671,"sku":"9781912122455","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0d42bbc-fe3d-4f88-8671-7b4ddef670de.jpg?v=1777160097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liz-finch-liz-finch-9781912122455","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
