A set of seven small books showcases the work of six young British artists: Douglas Gordon, Rachel Whiteread, Mona Hatoum, Damien Hirst, Gary Hume and Sam Taylor-Wood. This close encounter with these works, and a consideration of their art historical and personal points of reference, will undoubtedly shed light on the state of recent British art. Also, many of the included works draw profoundly on our common human experiences of desire, yearning, aggression, loss and grief.

A master of visual narrative, Stengle uses a variety of media to explore themes that express basic human needs - our longing for love and understanding, our vulnerability, and the fears that stem from the transient quality of life. Though she frequently uses the format of a book, we can also find sculpture, drawing, and painting within this artists’ alluring work. Stengle often uses familiar objects, placing them in unexpected situations, and thereby challenges the viewer to detect an array of an object’s latent meaning.
