This volume offers a superbly illustrated review of the work of renowned photographer Jo Ann Callis. An artist who has long exploited the emotional power of colour and texture, Callis is widely known for her inventive photographs involving tactile objects and images of people in mysterious, often unsettling narratives.

This beautifully illustrated volume accompanied an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum in 2009, and constitutes the first full-length treatment of Callis’ work – from 1974 to 2005. This volume attests to Callis’ singular vision of the delicate boundary between the world within and the world without.
