Thomas Brezing's 'Carpet Man'

Almost Fit To Be Hugged, a short essay in which I discuss Thomas Brezing's ongoing performance-based 'Carpet Man' project, is in the July/August 2013 issue of the Visual Artists' News Sheet (VAN) published by Visual Artists Ireland. Carpet Man himself makes an appearance on the front cover.

Devised primarily as an information source for artists in Ireland, VAN is distributed free of charge to members of Visual Artists Ireland, and is also available from galleries and arts centres.
