journey books
road books began in 1992 during a road trip through Italy, and the journey has proved a consistent metaphor in many of our productions, including journeys around a room, a garden, an internal landscape.
57 moments
Judy Kravis & Peter Morgan
57 moments in Alentejo, Portugal. The tourist map has no street names, no legend, no key, only numbers in basic printer’s colours. We’re happy with that. We’ll make it up as we go along. We enjoy the translations in tourist brochures and the roads that may not exist, the random numbers, the reservoir picnics, the convents, real and invented. We’re set on slow light drift & observation without judgement. History hangs by a thread. We look out northwest until a great lake comes into view.
34pp, 185 x 130mm, 28 short texts, 14 images, 2 endpapers of brochure patois. A numbered edition of 57, top-sewn by Albert Browne in Cork, September 2019.

incurable

20pp, 185 x 130mm, 19 b+w photographs, numbered edition of 57. A boreen book, October 2014

journey around my room
Judy Kravis
I do not speak Finnish but I might have. I might have fetched up somewhere other than this. I might have found objects other than these. Fewer books, for example. More antlers. Recently I learned about the profusion of Finnish noun cases, so now when I look around my room, it is sometimes in Finnish.
16pp 185 x 130mm, 33 colour pictures, assembled by hand, numbered edition of 57. December 2011

a short walk along the kefir road
Judy Kravis
Kefir is a fractal, a yoghurt plant, a zoo in a bowl – and growing – given a few simple conditions. A rambling yet practical poem for cooks, walkers and physicists.
22pp, top sewn, 185x130mm, pbk, 8 black & white images. Numbered edition of 57. A boreen book, October 2009.
