About the Item
"#224 – ABANDONED, SEPARATED" is from Amy Williams' series A Farewell to Arms – wherein the artist works directly onto page 224 of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from the page to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to the text of the poem. Made in response to the novel coronavirus, COVID-19 viral contagion, and the impact of sudden isolation on intimacy, family, friendship and community. Here the poem reads: "Abandoned / separated / dealing in death." Note the coronavirus form itself, outlined in colors red and silver, swimming in a blue field.
From Amy Williams – "My recent work is focused on making treated book pages using a found vintage copy of "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway. I was inspired by Tom Phillips' "A Humument", and I'm working my way through each page of Hemingway's book. I select specific words and phrases to create a poem, then I create artwork to embellish the page. The final product is both poetry and visual art."

View All"#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING", ink, pencil, gouache, found vintage book, poetry
By Amy Williams
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"#186 – WOUNDED WERE COMING" is from Amy Williams' series A Farewell to Arms – wherein the artist works directly onto pages of a found copy of Ernest Hemingway's WWII romance novel. The artist selects certain words and phrases from page 186 to isolate as a poem, and then draws, inks, redacts and paints the rest of the page according to the text. The resulting poem reads "The wounded were coming / men that were scared / I felt the rain in my face / It was getting dark." – Hemingway's novel is a doomed romance between a wounded American soldier and an Italian nurse – note the feminine form on the page, with a "dress" or apron that looks skeletal, bloody and rained upon, all at once.
