This definitive volume on artist Keith Tyson’s thirty- year career examines all aspects of his artistic endeavors. 
British Turner Prize–winning artist Keith Tyson is known for a distinctive and diverse body of work, including drawing, painting, installation, and sculpture. Showing a wide range of influences extending from mathematics and science through to poetry and mythology, he has an interest in how art emerges from the combination of information systems and physical processes that surround us every day. For over thirty years, Tyson has probed, dissected, explored, and questioned reality. Not fixed to one artistic style, Tyson’s mission is to challenge himself and the audience, while working with diverse materials―paint, clay, metal, resin―to question our knowledge of the world we perceive as real, and art’s role in representing it. 
Iterations and Variations offers an overview of the artist’s work in many media, with gallery installation views. Featuring 400 illustrations, and contributions by a number of leading critics, this is an edifying look at the acclaimed artist. 429 color illustrations

“Often the process requires trying to find a suitable structure to capture a complex idea…a map of the entire universe as an architectural structure, all eleven dimensions of space, the world as it would have been if one little thing had been different, an algorithm for creating art proposals….” —Keith Tyson Head to Hand represents a selective survey of Keith Tyson’s drawings from the past eight years. It includes both those drawings where the hand of the artist gives formal expression to an idea that has been already mentally charted, and those drawings where the hand etches out a conceptual space for the head to move into new territory and in unanticipated directions. Though most artists use drawing as a means of transforming mental thought into a physical manifestation, the scope of Tyson’s use of drawing to define areas of investigation is uniquely adventurous and ambitious. It is the process of arriving at these proposals that defines the centrality of drawing for Keith Tyson’s work, and one that is made evidently manifest in this rare artist’s book published by Thea Westreich and Ethan Wagner.

Keith Tyson (b 1969, England) has an interest in the way the world works, our place in it as individual human beings and the interconnectedness of every aspect of the universe. He works in almost all mediums, and his artworks have taken the form of performance pieces to multifaceted sculptural installations. His practice often begins with Studio Wall Drawings, however, which can be sketches of thought processes, workings for larger pieces or beautifully crafted renderings which capture the date and time when a certain idea formed on paper. Haunch of Venison is delighted to present a ten year survey exhibition of Tyson's Studio Wall Drawings; an ongoing series of complex works on paper which record the artist's thought process and working practice.
