Painting, Writing, Texting chronicles the friendship between painter Chantal Joffe and writer Olivia Laing, which began in 2016 when Joffe asked Laing to sit for a portrait. From that unexpected meeting, the pair developed an extensive and dynamic collaboration, fuelled by conversations about art, books and their way of understanding the world. The book brings together texts by Laing and a sequence of paintings by Joffe to explore how everyday life is transformed into art, and how the dialogue between words and images shapes a creative friendship.
