More about La Casa Isla 

In this immersive artist’s book, the island is explored as a transitory space of hope and refuge and conversely of isolation and imprisonment. An evocative sequence of image and text places these ideas in contrast as well as resonance. In passages of prose and poetry, the island is laden with promises of solace and transformation, as Golaz’s narrator considers distance, memory, and mortality. Photographs, watercolour illustrations, and pages from the artist’s sketchbook punctuate the narrative, creating a textured and equivocal visual language. Beginning from close, sensory study of a particular place, La Casa Isla grows to form a transcendent meditation on exile and grief, the influence of cinema, and the nature and purpose of art and narrative.
