Signed Copies of Redheaded Peckerwood by Christian Patterson

We’re pleased to announce that signed copies of Christian Patterson’s highly-acclaimed Redheaded Peckerwood are now available for pre-order from Light Work.

Redheaded Peckerwood is a work with a tragic underlying narrative — the story of 19 year old Charles Starkweather and 14 year old Caril Ann Fugate who murdered ten people, including Fugate’s family, during a three day killing spree across Nebraska to the point of their capture in Douglas, Wyoming. The images record places and things central to the story, depict ideas inspired by it, and capture other moments and discoveries along the way.

During his residency at Light Work in 2010, Patterson completed the original edition of hand made artist books of Redheaded Peckerwood that would later be the basis for the trade edition published by MACK. The first edition of the book sold out in just months and now the second edition, which includes a few updates and extras, is in circulation. Be sure to secure a copy before they’re gone too!
