The Red Skein is the new monograph of Swoon spanning more than the last decade. In 224 pages, with more than 200 coloured images, this book explores the work of Caledonia Curry, also known as Swoon. Covering her works on the street and in the studio, animation projects, collaborations, museum installations and community-based projects, The Red Skein is the most interesting and valuable collection of the artist’s works. Of particular interest is “Persephone, Medea, Hecate: Constructing a crossroads for art and psychedelic-assisted therapy”, an intimate and moving text in which Caledonia explains her background and what art means for her.

The in-depth book also includes an introduction by bestselling author Dr. Gabor Mate, a Hungarian physician with huge expertise on a range of topics including addiction, stress, and childhood development. The book contain texts by New York Based Curator RJ Rushmore, the Boston based curator Pedro Alonzo, the journalist Melena Ryzik, the art critic Jerry Saltz and the gallerist Jeffrey Deitch.
