SUMMARY:Book Signing with Senon Williams: Scrapyard at Arcana Books
DESCRIPTION:Please join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, December 13th between 4:00 and 6:00 PM as we welcome esteemed Los Angeles-based artist\, musician\, and author Senon Williams to celebrate the release of his new Hat & Beard Press publication\, Scrapyard. \n“The book forms a graveyard or a scrapyard of items one might typically discard. In our time of extreme wastefulness\, assembling the detritus from his art-making into a scrapbook gives each of these items a collective home and value. Gathered from Williams’ day-to-day studio practice\, they are thoughts jotted down\, remnants of materials used\, random receipts\, which suggest a sense of care\, like acts of preservation\, mending and repurposing. Each piece is held\, suspended from its final dissolution\, forming a new place in which to exist. Interspersed within the pages are vignettes looking at the histories of scrapbooking and ephemeral collection over time by Richelle Munkhoff and Beth Ann Whittaker of Plain Sight Archive. There is a long legacy and history of this artistic action and this publication represents now another documentation of time and place.” \nWe look forward to seeing you Saturday for the opportunity to meet and greet Senon – and to pick up his engaging new book! If you cannot attend and would like to purchase a signed copy of Scrapyard\, his hot-off-the-press limited edition etching Everything Must Go\, or a selection of older titles\, please place your order here! \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			PURCHASE BOOKS\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			\nSenon Williams is a lifelong visual artist and musician\, and a Los Angeles native. Ranging in media from paintings on paper and canvas\, to wood sculpture and assemblage. Senon explores poignant visualization of the inherent human struggle both ancient and contemporary. He finds space in the natural world\, exposing stages of human evolution. His love of language play\, sounds\, textures\, and associations of word and object often explore the triumphs and conflicts inherent in identity\, history\, and community. Senon’s search for truth leaves him amazed and baffled. Creating art is his meditation on meaning\, or no meaning in the face of our turbulent existence. The written word and poetry is a consistent part of his practice.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Senon Williams: Words Don't Mean Much
DESCRIPTION:Free\nPlease join us for a book signing at Arcana: Books on the Arts \nSenon Williams: Words Don’t Mean Much\nSaturday\, January 29th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM \nArcana: Books on the Arts | 8675 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA 90232 \nWe are delighted to invite you to a book signing celebrating Senon Williams’ new book\, Words Don’t Mean Much\, published by Hat & Beard Press. \nPlease come fully vaccinated\, wear your mask over your nose and mouth\, and maintain distance from others when possible! \nYou may pre-order a signed copy of the book to be picked up at the store or shipped to you after the event. PLEASE PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE! \nThe old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is turned on its side in Words Don’t Mean Much\, Senon Williams’ new book of aphoristic phrasing. Far fewer words are needed to create an illuminating image in the mind’s eye\, conjuring immediate multi-sensory experiences. \nThis book of poems is derived from the text in Williams’ ink on paper drawings\, a sampling of which are pictured at left. The drawings are textual extractions and gather momentum within the book\, exhibiting great attention to materials and craftsmanship. Every detail\, from select paper to classic typeface\, has been considered. An object\, not unlike a sculpture\, can be viewed from all sides\, handled – and leafed through in the case of this book – front to back\, back to front\, or randomly opened. Words Don’t Mean Much is a small pocket book\, easy to conceal. A book to keep all to yourself or share intimately. \nNative to Los Angeles\, Senon Williams is a lifelong visual artist and musician. His longtime study of economy with words and multiple meanings centers on the desire to create glimpses into the inherent human struggle\, both ancient and contemporary. Williams’ work finds space in the natural – exposing outstanding and devastating stages of human evolution.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Senon Williams for a Book Launch + Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, October 7 from 4 to 6 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a special Book Launch and Exhibition of Senon Williams’ Hunted & Gathered. \nNative to Los Angeles\, Senon Williams is a lifelong visual artist and musician. Williams’ work finds space in the natural\, exposing outstanding and devastating stages of human evolution. “To provoke thought\, a question works better than answers.  I enjoy to start a story I resolve in different ways depending on my mood\,” says Williams.  With imagery ranging from stark silhouettes to lush landscapes and human forms staged in undetermined acts of hope\, his pairing of words and imagery suggest deeper meaning. A poignant visualization of the inherent human struggle both ancient and contemporary. \nHamilton Press was established in 1990 by master printmaker Ed Hamilton and artist Ed Ruscha to encourage artists to produce art in a peaceful\, unhurried atmosphere. Steeped in traditional book making in a modern age\, the publication itself is a fine object created by an esteemed team. Designed by Lorraine Wild and Marina Mills Kitchen of Green Dragon Office\, Los Angeles\, color separations by Echelon Color\, Santa Monica and printed by Dr.Cantz’sche Druckerei Median GmbH\, Ostfildern\, Germany.  The first edition consists of 750 bound copies. There is a limited edition of 50 copies with an original work on paper by the artist. Both editions will be available at the event and are available now for pre-order.
