In 2020, motivated by environmental anxiety, the artist made an extraordinary commitment; to use only those materials already available in his studio - using up, repurposing and recycling what he already has without consuming more. When he has run out of materials he will simply stop making art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past six years Butcher has relentlessly pursued the logic of this enquiry, destroying his own work in the process and re-presenting the fragments of paint sandwiched between sheets of glass like specimens; a ‘natural history’ of his creative past. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSumptuously documented by photographer Peter Abrahams with a fascinating essay by Jonathan Watkins and a revelling ‘in conversation’ between Eric Butcher and artist\/write David Batchelor, Trace Elements chronicles this unique and compelling on-going project.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56496005939544,"sku":"9781917458894","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781917458894.jpg?v=1772095544","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/eric-butcher","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
