Laura

Laura, a parallel publication to Eric Metcalfe's exhibition of the same name, brings together material from the exhibition in the form of a production archive. Nancy Shaw, a writer with interests in architecture, film and literature, contributed a series of fictional letters from the missing Laura. Metcalfe and Rick Ross contributed drawings and plans for set pieces, while Jim Breukelman's photographs of the installation reveal the realized project. Inspired by the radio plays of the 1940s, a CD is also included in the publication on which Shaw's letters are integrated into an improvisational score by Paul Plimley with sound design by Peter Courtemanche. Designed by Judith Steedman, Laura communicates the concept and process of the exhibition using the conventions of the film script and storyboard.
