Boboli Personality: Fauna

Printer: Snapfish · b. 1999Artist: Matheson, Penelope · b. 1952

The work was printed and bound by the Snapfish online book printing company and is one of a number produced by the artist following the artist’s stay in Italy as part of the RSA John Kinross Scholarship Award, 2015. The basic inspiration was taken from walking on foot around Florence and discovering less-well-known areas of the city. The content of the book was born from the content of the artist’s on-line blogs.

The artist has produced three other books in this Boboli Personality series. The title is a play on the Boboli Gardens in Florence and the phrase “bubbly personality.” For two of these vide 2016.206.1 and 2018.041.

An audio recording made during John Kinross Scholars Portfolio meeting 2016-05-17 is on J:SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS/JOHN KINROSS SCHOLARSHIP/ 2015 Scholars (2016 Deposit)/ Matheson, Penelope.

Snapfish digitally produced portrait format hard bound book in black library cloth, comprising 30 un-numbered leaves of colour photographs and accompanying narrative by the artist, with black endpapers
