This event has ended.

I spend a great deal of time searching the British Library and Library of Congress catalogues for titles which seem right for the particular subject I’m dealing with, but I have no idea what the original bindings and design may look like. The books as they appear in the prints are entirely crafted from my imagination although most have an approximately 'right' style and typography for the date of the original publication. Sometimes they're ironic, sometimes they're caustic, sometimes they seem to me to be quite poignant. Puns both literary and visual have always fascinated me, and all my work has this fascination as it’s primary ingredient.
