Misty Mawn's book is truly on a level all by itself... this is 100% all Misty. No other artists are highlighted in the book so you'll get everything that makes this artist so unique and original wrapped up in 127 pages of brilliance. From interactive cutouts, to prompts and ideas on poetry to photography. Misty pushes the reader to stretch outside their normal comfort zone and try other creative outlets. Truly, Unfurling is the definition of mixed media and you will be surprised and thrilled at every turn of the page.
