NOB front+back

A five-part book in texts and images, offering a rare insight into the process of making behind Sarah Lucas’s sculptural works:

[1] molding a nobby prize marrow – a ‘Stanway John’
[2] molding an actual nob – a penis, hard-core with plenty of Vaseline, and resulting plaster-cast Penetralia
[3] a nob-negative dug into the ground – and resulting concrete-cast Penetralius
[4] hands-on forming the original clay Oboddaddy – human-sized nob
[5] concrete men’s fetish boots [no nob] – with a pair of fried eggs

“It’s like a forensic manual on diseases of the penis! ..and that black, the black! THE BLACK!!”, Damien Hirst.

‘Penetralia is an eccentric and also melancholy publication that lies in one’s hands both lightly and heavily, it is a book between medieval love poetry, neo-Pre-Raphaelite enthusiasm and Arts & Crafts cult, fitted out with dark imagery, framed by absurd artist portraits and produced with totally captivating printing techniques’, Spike Art Quarterly.
