Riley II calls "one of the most vital (and misunderstood) creative forces in modern art, architecture, music, dance, literature, and philosophy: the pursuit of perfection." Riley examines many contemporary figures who exemplify the ascetic impulse in their work and life. These artists examined through the lens of asceticism, serve as focal points in Riley's consideration of cultural issues such as the role of spirituality in contemporary art, the interaction of Western and Asian traditions, and the relationship between the artists' lives and work.

Every Friday summer evening for the past two decades,ten burly Cornishmen met on the quay at Port Isaac for the simple joy of sharing friendship,beer and song.Then,in March 2010,everything changed.A music producer heard their passionate voices and signed them up to a major record label,transforming this bunch of fishermen,coastguards and lifeboatmen into the unlikeliest of buoy bands.This is the complete fishing nets to riches story of how the boat came in for Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends.It tells what it's like to grow up in a seafaring community that lives as much by its wits as by the bounty of the sea.Each member of the group tells his part of a unique story.There are tales of lifeboat rescues, fishing escapades and a history of smuggling and wrecking against the rugged backdrop of Cornwall's coast.They speak about collecting songs heard on the lips of great-grandfathers and finding in them a resonance that stretches across generations.Their music has struck a chord in the hearts of men and women,young and old,across the English-speaking world.With a new album due out this year (then 2011) and British folk music enjoying a huge revival,this is an affectionate and timely autobiography. With their ages ranging between forty-seven and seventy-seven,Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends are Peter Rowe,retired lobster fisherman; the Brown brothers - Jeremy,Julian and John - lobster fishermen with their own boats whose fathers and grandfathers were fishermen before them; local builders Trevor Grills and John McDonnell; Nigel Sherratt who runs the Cupcakes Cafe and Kittiwake's B&B; local shop owner Jon Cleave,sporting a splendid walrus moustache and a deep bass voice; smallholder John Lethbridge,and potter Billy Hawkins, with his studio in Port Isaac's former Methodist chapel.Nine out of ten Fisherman's Friends have known each other since early childhood and attended the same local schools.Their rousing,unaccompanied renditions of shanties such as 'The Cadgwith Anthem' and 'South Australia' have helped to spark a folk music renaissance.Their first album for Universal went gold and the group won the BBC2 Folk Award for Good Tradition in 2011.
