Inuit Dolls of the Kivalliq
Darrin Martens
The women of the Kivalliq region of Nunavut have created dolls for centuries, each with their own technique and purpose. Since the creation of Nunavut, a resurgence in traditional arts and crafts has emerged. Dolls are no exception. They are utilized to relate oral stories and legends and to provide opportunities for intergenerational teaching of traditional sewing and beading. This book illustrates each of the doll-makers, their dolls and explores how they pursue a unique cultural identity within a changing world.

Ron Eckert
Darrin Martens
Ron Eckert has been a practicing visual artist for over four decades. A self described quiet and self contained artist, Eckert has explored extensively the mediums of painting and printmaking.

J.C. Heywood: A Life in Layers
Geraldine Davis & Linda Beatty
Carl (J.C.) Heywood has been creating art for over 40 years and his devotion to printmaking has become a life's work. This important retrospective publication chronicles Heywood's evolution as a Canadian visual artist who has chosen to express himself by making art on paper. His prints, whether they are executed through the processes associated with etching, lithography, screen or digital means, provide an opportunity for discourse in relation to their origin and the process in which the artist has chosen to execute his work.

Jude Griebel: A Cast of Shadows
Darrin J. Martens & Rory Wallace
This first monograph presents a collection of intaglio prints spanning the past seven years and forming the foundation of Griebel's young career as a visual artist. The work finds its genesis in childhood stories, legends and the relationship between narrative and the visual image. Intimately connected to the rich tradition of children's book illustrations, Griebel's prints combine fantasy and adult experience to create scenes that have a foothold in both the real and imaginary. Two essays and numerous plates reveal a promising artistic practice.

Doug Biden: Visceral Allegories
Darrin J. Martens
Anatomical images of the human body recur in this retrospective of Doug Biden's prints and drawings. Because the artist died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 50, it's easy to read a preoccupation with illness, medicine, and mortality into his art. Yet most of the work here predates Biden's 2005 diagnosis. It's as if his imagery were somehow prescient, as if his interest in social and biological systems and body politics anticipated his physical struggle and early end. An accomplished and respected printmaker, Biden exhibited his art nationally and internationally.

Marianna Schmidt
Robin Laurence, Darrin J. Martens & Bill Jeffries
Marianna Schmidt (1918-2005) was an accomplished neo-expressionist artist who, after having fled Hungary during the war and living in displaced persons camps throughout Europe, lived and worked in Vancouver from the 1950s until her death. The enormous scope of her practice - prints, drawings, paintings and collages - is unified by recurrent themes of alienation and dislocation, with twisted and fragmented figures stranded against featureless grounds and generic landscapes. This first retrospective monograph accompanies three concurrent exhibitions and is the result of a concerted effort on the part of the Evergreen Cultural Centre, Simon Fraser University Art Gallery and Burnaby Art Gallery. Works from public and private collections are augmented by pieces from Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (Museum for Contemporary Art) in Ghent, Belgium which has extensive holdings. Three essays, a biography and a bibliography honour a singular career, placing it within the context of Schmidt's life and times.
