This book is a pictorial biography of Italian-born South African artist, Marisa Horn. This second edition of "Shintilla" offers a wider glimpse into the incredible talents of Marisa, along with brief synopses of her works - the inspirations and motivations behind her styles and themes, and the histories behind her various works. It has been separated into the various mediums that Marisa used, but a one time or another these overlapped, as did the themes and concepts behind her works. This second edition was completed with the assistance and permission of the artist.
