Anoka Faruqee's artist's book documents the making of two of her recent paintings: "Equator" and "Corbelled Arch," both 2010, as Faruqee was preparing for her solo show at Hosfelt Gallery in San Francisco. A series of studio photographs catalogues Faruqee's laborious practice of mixing dozens, sometimes hundreds of subtly shifting colors for each painting. The book tracks Faruqee's disciplined yet surprisingly freehand painting process, as she repeats a single handmade motif across a large surface on subtly increasing curves. A brief text by Faruqee describes her relation to painting and to process.
