Body of Pieces is the first novel by artist Joanne Masding. A work of abstract fiction, it follows two female characters, The Surgeon and The Dancer, as they attempt to interact with a series of hard-to-grasp and vaguely-defined objects (and one another) within the bowels of a fictional archive.Begun while caring for her first child and spanning the pregnancy and birth of her second, the novel considers what it is to create and add to the world, both as a maker and as a mother. Continuing the artist's explorations from the studio Body of Pieces thinks through ideas of embodied knowledge and how the material world can be understood and translated.

This book is an incantation for Wendy (2023), a film fan letter from artist Frances Scott to composer Wendy Carlos. Written contributions from Beth Bramich, Stine Hebert, Juliet Jacques, Tom Richards, Chu-Li Shewring and Dave Tompkins are accompanied by hand-drawn music scores, film stills and script notes produced during Scott's research, and her moving-image work Valentina (2020), a rehearsal to camera with performer Valentina Formenti. Incantation, Wendy precedes the film Wendy and meditates on Carlos as 'The Original Synth', moving across channels that speak of the unbounded voice in collaboration, synthesis and transition; through vocoders, archives, re-readings, light pulses, solar flares and cyclical returns; and in concert with horses, moons and a sun, eclipsing as it rises above the horizon.
