A screen printed cover of Cut from a Bigger Cloth immediately gives you an idea about handcraft, patterns, dyeing. As the book is an introduction to a wide range of Addoley Dzege’s art practices, it contains a lot of different materials, which the book deals with in a very delicate and exciting way—there are a lot of different sections coming with different kind of paper, colors or printing technique, therefore helping to position the reader within the book. It also includes actual samples of screen printing and batik on cotton textiles allowing it to feel closer to the research of Addoley Dzege. As the publication continues the images grow in size from original family photos to large photos of the artist’s work. It is evident that a lot of attention, work and consideration were put in the design of the book, which becomes an informative and beautiful reflection of the artist’s ways of working and thinking with material.
