About this title

Synopsis

In 2005, Tim McCreight wrote The Syntax of Objects, his first foray into the genre called creative nonfiction. His elegant book consists of short musings on the relationship we have with the objects in our lives. As a maker of objects, he wonders out loud about the way our memories and senses relate to decisions about what we make and how we go about making choices in the studio and in our living material world.
The revised edition uses the same text, but packages it in a smaller and thicker volume. The new Syntax augments the text with pinhole camera images like the original edition, but this book includes more of them. This edition replaces the original (gold/red) book, which is now out of print.

About the Author

Tim McCreight is a goldsmith and the author of more than a dozen books including Design Language and Complete Metalsmith. For thirty years he has been a teacher and studio artist, sharing his skills and insights with students around the world. Who better than a writer/craftsman to explore the nature of objects?
