A book of drawings with accompanying cd, Chiaroscuro / Pentimenti is a collaboration between poet JL Williams, composer Martin Parker and artist Anna Chapman. Chiaroscuro (Italian, 'light-dark') is an artist's technique for synthesising form through casting shadow, while pentimenti (Italian, 'repentances') are traces of the artist's earlier decisions or outlines, revealed as layers of paint become translucent over time. We took these ideas as departure points for excursions through text, image and sound.

28 pages with cd; published by Fogbank Projects, 2009. Supported by the Scottish Arts Council.
