Notes
300 book covers hand-made by the artist
Publisher Note
Pencil and charcoal drawings and small relief sculptures made with tape and stickers are the materials used in Jonathan Ellery’s latest book, A Bewildered Herd.
The title of the book comes originally from Walter Lippmann (Public Opinion, 1922 – mass man as the bewildered herd, spectators
not participants in a democracy) whose words were paraphrased by Noam Chomsky in his book Media Control (2002).
Ellery’s interest is focused on the notion of a democracy, and how easy it appears to control it.
One gets the sense that Ellery’s recent work is becoming more abstract, and that is borne out by the front covers, each treated as
an individual canvas by the artist, all 300 covers done by hand.
