From the poster series, evocative of the government advice on wartime posters
'Collation and the physical descriptions of books are the starting point for my latest series of works. Combining images of books and images of people I aim to abstract the description of the book so that the person depicted will then take on the similarities and take the image to another space. "Read More" is part of a series of poster works that makes demands upon the viewers' lives, for the better?'
Following a National Diploma in Art and Design at Plymouth Art College, the artist and bookseller Faye Heller graduated from the West Surrey College of Art & Design with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Sculpture, and subsequently gained an MFA in Fine Art at the Slade School of Art, University College London, where she was awarded the Charles Saatchi Bursary.
