Patricia L. Boyd's book Ceiling Blues borrows its format from fabric sample books. It contains
photographed fragments of frottages silkscreen prints and casts-tests made in preparation
for her exhibition reproduced in 1:1 scale. The samples here are not single samples of what
can exist in quantity as with samples from a roll of fabric that has a pattern that repeats.
They are single samples from what is singular. They are excerpts of draft versions of a
potential work that remains unfound. (Patricia L. Boyd)
