Full Description

First comprehensive monograph of internationally renowned artist Jyll Bradley, featuring all aspects of her work from the 1980s to the present day, including early sketchbooks, lightboxes, photography, film, wall-based sculpture, drawings and large-scale public installations, each covered thematically by a range of diverse and exciting voices in contemporary art and literature. A pioneer of using early lightbox technology to create sculptural installations, Bradley’s works are notable for their use of minimalist, industrial forms as spaces for exploring identity and place. Her ambitious public realm artworks, such as Green/Light (for M.R.) (Folkestone Triennial), Dutch/Light (Turner Contemporary) and The Hop (Hayward Gallery), reflect her innovative approach to sculpture as a potent gathering place of people and ideas.

Published to coincide with Bradley’s major survey show at The Box, Plymouth, in April 2025, this book will provide an important resource for those familiar with Bradley’s work, while introducing her to new audiences in an accessible, engaging and imaginative way.
