 Seeing Fatima's Eyes is a new photographic essay by the self-taught painter, sculptor, photographer and filmmaker Thomas Campbell (born 1969), on surfing and life in Morocco. In the early 1990s, just prior to his immersion in the scene around New York's Alleged Gallery, Campbell would regularly hole up in the North African enclave to produce paintings for solo exhibitions in Paris, New York and Rabat, all the while scouring the coast during the winter months for whatever waves might roll in from the Atlantic. Later, over the last ten years, Campbell brought various surfers of note (such as Dan Malloy, Alex Knost, Craig Anderson, Dave Rastovich and Ryan Burch) to join him there, and to savor Morocco's glorious climate and stupendous surf. This book, the second in Campbell's Slide surfing series (following 2012's Slide Your Brains Out), records these collective Moroccan adventures from the past 20 years, in color and black-and-white images that range from the everyday to the sublime.

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 6/27/2015 Featured image is reproduced from Seeing Fatima's Eyes: Surf, Life, Stuff, Morocco, North Africa, the new photo book by surfer and self-taught painter, sculptor, photographer and filmmaker Thomas Campbell. Also titled "Fatima's Eyes", it was made in Central Morocco in 2011. Scott Hulet writes, "The country on the northwestern lobe of Africa has always drawn seekers from America and the Continent. Henri Matisse, Paul Bowles, Bill Burroughs, Orson Welles and the Rolling Stones all embraced the freedom, chaos, culture and color of Morocco... The country has been a waystation for the sensualist, the experimenter, and the gridskipper. For expats, the medina was the perfect backdrop for the louche exploration of the decadent, far from the laws and morals of their homelands. Adding the intoxicating splash of surfing to the mix could only take things to a rounded and addictive place." continue to blogFROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/26/2015 Thomas Campbell's 2011 photograph, captioned "Craig Anderson laying shit down, round house. Boilers, Central Morocco," is reproduced from Campbell's vivid new collection, Seeing Fatima's Eyes: Surf, Life, Stuff, Morocco, North Africa. "I like the relatedness for the common person to look at an image, and feel it, and be like 'Whoa, that looks super fun.' Instead of including the more critical, like, magazine-style photos. I just wanted to relay a vibe and create a feeling of enjoyment and depth of experience." continue to blog | OF RELATED INTEREST |  | UM YEAH ARTSISBN: 9780985361105
