House of the Stray Dog
'House of the Stray Dog is the latest visual odyssey shot in the two years following his autobiographical study of youth and nostalgia, Even a Maniac Can Learn to Drive (published by Jane & Jeremy). Quirke continues to obsessively document his life in a diaristic manner. This time he strings together a series of photographic offerings that weave a visual narrative around the bittersweetness of self-realisation and the solitude of adulthood. A thicket of webs and veils punctuate the work, with creatures dead and alive chaperoning us on our journey into the fray.' – Isobel Robinson. Throughout the book images are printed full-bleed with collage fragments in between for moments of reflection. Each book in this first edition of 200 and includes a signed special edition print.
