From the AnOther site:
Boo Ritson paints people, literally. Utilising the body as a canvas she applies a vivid colour palette of thick household emulsion across her sitters’ hair, skin and clothes to create American stereotypes. The air hostess, the waitress, the cowboy and cowgirl, the beauty pageant, the trucker, the cop: Ritson’s work – which blends sculpture, portraiture, performance art and photography – takes viewers on a sugar-coated road trip across the United States. Obsessed by the idea of "the American Dream", Ritson’s imagined narratives and character clichés are entirely of her own creation; rather than being anything to do with the person beneath the layers of paint. With only 20-minutes to create her masterpieces before the paint dries and is washed off, Ritson’s three-dimensional masks are incredibly short-lived, existing only as photographic documents shot by her photographer Andy Crawford.

The book is in very good condition, with rubbing to the cover, unmarked interior, sound binding.
