Varve, by Theodore Archer Pope

Free Shipping on All Orders

The poetry and art collected in Ted Pope’s Varve emerges directly from his inspired BMC celebration installation, The Black Mountains of Mars. Pope, of Morganton, NC is often cited as embodying both the avant-garde and Appalachian, the disruptive and down-to-earth, energies which we have come to associate with the vast array of BMC artists.

This illustrated volume includes “glass blue rabbit,” “Uncle Burton” and “Honeysuckle Universe.” Full color throughout.

More about Ted:

Creator of his own mythology, one which is intensely personal, yet at the same time exceptionally communal, Theodore Archer Pope considers himself more an artist than a person… He provides no context for his work, but notes it functions as a portal to everything inside him at any given moment.

Sometimes he feels like a Martian, other times a cowboy; sometimes he can do nothing but express frustration at the craziness in and around him.
