"Enrique Martinez Celaya is one of the most intriguing and celebrated artists to emerge from the United States in recent years. Trained as artist and physicist, his practice embraces painting, sculpture, photography, and writing. His projects frequently take the form of multi-disciplinary environments that balance images with the immediacy of the material experience. In the first comprehensive study of Martinez Celaya's multifaceted process, Mary Rakow and Matthew Biro illuminate previously unaddressed aspects of the artist’s practice including his tendency to destroy his own work, his materials and approaches towards them, his literary influences, and the changes that led to pivotal moments in his career. "Working Methods" features new photography, archival images, and a number of previously unpublished works. Also included is an interview by Rakow with the artist that reveals his unique practice".
