Catalogue of Things I’ve Touched is an artist’s book conceived and created by Adelaide Cioni, inviting the reader to enter into her creative process. Entirely made of scans, the book offers a unique perspective on the artist’s relationship with fabric: notes, sketches, drawings and personal annotations, combined with scraps of fabric and canvas, come to life on the page, giving rise to ever-changing shapes and combinations. A short introductory text explains the structure of the editorial project and, page after page, the artist’s visual world takes shape: ‘shades and textures of wool, sketches painted on fabric, maquettes, unused costume pieces (…), the designs and sketches that lie behind it all.’
