"STUDIES 2023" is a collection of B. Thom Stevenson's year-long artistic journey, encapsulated within the pages of a perfect-bound book. Designed with the contemplative spirit of an artist’s studio, this volume boasts a substantial 500 black and white pages, each chronicling the nuances of Stevenson's creative process.
A study is a practice-focused artwork aimed at honing specific skills, typically emphasizing learning and technique development over aesthetic outcomes.
From B. Thom Stevenson: “The images in this book are meant to be a window or LENS into my practice AS I SEE IT. An art practice is fundamentally a journey of seeking inspiration and knowledge, where learning is achieved through observation and repetition. It involves embracing and REPEATING mistakes, a process that underscores why it is aptly called a "Practice"—it's a continual exercise.”
