Description
The essays in Moyra Davey's Index Cards are a meditation on the intersections between art and life. Starting with a daily encounter - a photograph, a memory, or a passage from a book - she weaves together disparate writers and artists to reveal the complex relationships between them. Davey's thinking is both elliptical and direct, clear-headed and personal, as she draws connections between seemingly unrelated subjects. Her writing is layered and self-examining, prismatic in its approach, laying bare the thorny but nourishing relationship between art and life. Through her essays, Davey offers a unique perspective on the ways in which art can inform our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
