About The Apricot Memoirs
Product Description This romantic fusion of art—poetry, prose, and unbridled creativity—was birthed from one soul’s season of adventure and unraveling, inviting us to surrender the great for the greater. What started as a break from Australian artist Tess Guinery’s rapidly growing design business turned into an instinctive, playful experiment with words, colors, and sounds—and eventually into a tangible book, The Apricot Memoirs. This collection of poetry and prose, thoughtfully illustrated and printed on colored paper, is infused with grace and playfulness. It explores love, personal growth, creativity, spirituality, vulnerability, and motherhood in the art medium of words, all the while creating a rich portrait of a deeply empathetic, talented, and whimsical artist. Esoteric, mysterious, and unfailingly beautiful, The Apricot Memoirs is an invitation to dig deep, embrace the uncomfortable, and free your creativity, unbound. Review "Women are beginning to speak in so many ways, but one of the most exciting moments for me personally is when they sing in the sound of poetry and creative prose. Tess Guinery's language and form are reminiscent of R. M. Rilke and Nayyirah Waheed, and she is distinguishing herself through a voice that continuously pours contemplation in an unhurried and hopeful stream. The Apricot Memoirs as a collection is like a psaltry for the dreamer within us, and it's hard to read these pages without feeling close to the woman herself. Guinery has taken her gaze for design and transformed the seeing eye into the eloquent pen. I'm excited for women everywhere to benefit from a writer who is like the wiseolder sister we all wished we had. Maybe we still do." Teresa Archer, Darling magazine "It is hard not to be immediately drawn into Tess's world--with its ethereal language and heartfelt guidance. We are excited about everything she does, and this work is no exception!" Emma Roberts & Karah Preiss, Belletrist "'Within poetry, there is painting, within paintings, there is poetry'--Su Shi (1037-1101). When I came across this quote, Tess Guinery's work immediately came to mind as among those that really embodies the interwoven nature of these artistic forms. She paints with her words and speaks poetry with her paintings. I have found much encouragement from her prose, which have been songs and psalms for my own soul. So much gratitude for the warmth and truth that they hold. Thank you, Tess, for your willingness to share your soul through your poetry and paintings." Allison Chan About the Author Tess Guinery is a dancer by upbringing, a designer by trade, and an artist by calling. After graduating from the Karl Von Busse Institute of Design in Australia, she started her own freelance business. She soon established herself as a sought-after creator, but with design work bursting at the seams, Tess pressed pause and decided to take a sabbatical to explore her inner artist, to express, and ultimately to create unbound—which led her to the making of her tangible art piece, The Apricot Memoirs. She currently lives by the sea in Palm Beach, Australia, with her stuntman husband and their three spirited daughters.
