This bi-lingual catalogue was commissioned to accompany Hayley Tompkins' exhibition Stick Crystals to Paintings at Bonner Kunstverein in 2018. Hayley Tompkins works with painting, photography and found objects to make installations that highlight the process of looking and experiencing space. Through her practice she seeks to understand objects in the world through an examination of the mimetic quality of paint and painting. The design of the book is led by installation photographs of Tompkins' work printed on high quality satin stock.
