JARDINE PRESS: ........."Conceptual artist Chris Dobrowolski tells his own story in this fully illustrated book. Inspired by his childhood books, we follow the making of his escape vehicles from recycled materials: a boat, a car, a hovercraft, a plane, and culminating in his great escape to Antarctica to build a sledge." ISBN: 978-0-9565495-9-4 Arts Council England, Firstite, Collectors Group, Essex University.

The book tells a story that begins with me trying to escape from art college. It features all the vehicles from my original performance lecture "Landscape, Seascape, Skyscape, Escape" and explains how I got from there to the Antarctic.
.........."Art students in their thousands have been motivated and inspired by Dobrowolski's compelling and very funny lectures. In the most extreme and creative ways he turns everyday life into extraordinary experiences. This book documents a lifetime of ingenuity and 'inner need' that will change your view of what's possible- no artist can do more".
