Book Launch – A Joyous Representation of Mobile Art Visualised Through the Quilt Project
I am delighted today to announce the publication of the Mobile Art Quilt Project Book. Now, arguably considered to be one of the 21st century’s most important poetic pieces and a defining staple of mobile art.
It is a piece of literature and art that was inspired by the creation of the physical Mobile Art Quilt which showcases 234 pieces of art created by individual mobile artists throughout the world.
Each artwork stands on its own, with its own structure, meaning and symbolism. Inside the book there are written texts by architect of the Quilt Project, Roger Guetta as well as collaborators, Lorenka Campos, Linda Toki and Kate Zari Roberts. The book contains an introduction by myself as well as scripts that accompany the Quilt as it is featured at Mobile Art Exhibitions throughout the world.
The Quilt itself is now in Portugal under the care of mobile artist, curator and exhibitor Manuela Matos Monteiro. She will showcase it at the launch of the MIRA Mobile Prize B&W Montagem /Exhibition Installation today, 25 September 2020 at 9.00 pm to coincide with the book launch.

Joanne Carter
Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London. Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles. These include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Popular Photography & Imaging, dpreview, NikonPro, Which? and more recently with the BBC as a Contributor, Columnist at Vogue Italia and Contributing Editor at LensCulture. Her professional photography has also been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including Italy, Portugal and the UK. She is currently writing several books, all related to mobile art and is always open to requests for new commissions for either writing or photography projects or a combination of both.
