Source collects a growing archive of images that Christy Gast has been gathering over the past decade in her travels. The book is a bank of photographs of objects and assemblages that, as Gast says, are like sculptures but aren’t sculptures: the rusted hulk of a shipwreck, a sheepskin left to cure on a pole, an array of beaver tails nailed to a timber, a loose arrangement of objects at a flea market. In some way, they are the counterparts to the objects that she produces in the studio; they are found raw source material that Gast tweaks and tinkers with–physically and conceptually.
