Kate Davis
This is the first monograph produced on the Glasgow based artist Kate Davis. It charts the development of her work over the last six years culminating in a two person show with Faith Wilding at the CCA Glasgow in April 2010. Through this period, Davis' work has evolved into the production of bodies of work, creating carefully composed environments which incorporate drawings, collages and sculptural objects. These installations seek to pose questions, or seek to manifest Davis' responses to the practice of other artists, whilst commenting on the ever-shifting political, sociological and cultural environments in which art is produced. The monograph will feature a newly commissioned essay by Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith and is designed by Robert Johnston. Co-published by the CCA, Glasgow and Sorcha Dallas, Glasgow and supported by The Scottish Arts Council.

Handywoman
"This is not a book about Kate's triumph over adversity. Rather, it is her account of the ordinary activities and everyday objects that stroke and disability made her see differently. From braiding hair for the first time to learning how to knit again; from the lessons of a working-class creative childhood to the support of the contemporary knitting community; from the transformative effects of good design to developing a new identity as a disabled walker; in this engaging series of essays, Kate describes how the experience of brain injury allowed her to build a new kind of handmade life. Part memoir, part personal celebration of the power of making, in Handywoman Kate reclaims disability as in itself a form of practical creativity."--Publisher description.
The Girl who Forgets how to Walk
The debut book from Cumbrian poet Kate Davis tells a personal narrative of the contraction of polio as a young girl, her subsequent disability and slow rehabilitation. Inspiring, funny and deeply personal, with this book Davis creates her own map to navigate the wild landscape, demonstrating a unique connection to the earth beneath us.
The Incredible Hotel
A visually stunning picture book about The Incredible Hotel and Stefan, who dreams of being a chef. Illustrated by up-and-coming talent Isabelle Follath.
The Book of Haps
"A hap is a Scottish dialect word for a simple shawl or wrap. Haps have a particular association with the Shetland islands... This book explores the story of the hap through five beautifully illustrated essays and thirteen stunning patterns." -- cover, page [4]
Kisses from Katie
Katie was a normal American teenager when she decided to explore the possibility of voluntary work overseas. She temporarily 'quit life' to serve in Uganda for a year before going to college. However, returning to 'normal' became impossible and Katie 'quit life' - college, designer clothes, her little yellow convertible and her boyfriend - for good, remaining in Uganda. In the early days she felt as though she were trying to empty the ocean with an eyedropper, but has learnt that she is not called to change the world in itself, but to change the world for one person at a time. By the age of 22 Katie had adopted 14 girls and founded Amizima Ministries which currently has sponsors for over 600 children and a feeding program for Uganda's poorest citizens - so it is no wonder she feels Jesus wrecked her life, shattered it to pieces, and put it back together making it more beautiful than it was before.
