Sun Step Black Lake is a remarkable book which showcases the art of collaboration, and artistic dialogue. The beautiful, abstract images, from John Welson, provide a platform for Allan Graubard’s sublime words to wander through the terrain laid by Welson. But, then, in the true spirit of artistic friendship, Welson’s images return the favour and work their way through Graubard’s words. This is not only a delightful book of art and words, but also a testament to the brilliance of Allan Graubard & John Welson.
PRAISE FOR SUN STEP BLACK LAKE

He is spurred by John Welson’s deliriously intricate paintings and titles, and vice versa. Both are equally accomplished and compelling, and their virtuosity stands individually, whilst their collaboration achieves a ricocheting intimacy greater than either art by itself…
