A Wizard of Earthsea
by Ursula Le Guin
Sleeve by Jessica Luostarinen
Finnish artist Jessica Luostarinen has chosen to send A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin. Her sleeve features original two paintings inspired by her childhood practice of shaping imagined companions from foil.
"Through painting, I have been returning to early imaginings of this world, a world where making was intuitive and free, where you could shape your own reality without overthinking it. Conjuring these paintings feels like an attempt to unearth something that was left behind, to bring these companions back, and see what they still carry."
The Book
First published in 1968, A Wizard of Earthsea follows Ged, a young wizard who journeys across islands and seas in search of his own shadow. It is a thrilling yet cautionary tale with Taoist influence about what can happen when power is misused.
This limited edition package features original cover artwork and text by Gemma Janes and Jessica Luostarinen and as been published to coincide with the opening of Georgina Pounds Gallery in Mexico City of which Jess is a participating artist.
Limited edition of 100.
