Book Design & Production
This projects is open to individuals, artists, collectors, families and communities who wish to preserve and reflect on a body of work, a personal archive, a significant life journey, or a collection of ideas and experiences.
Each book is developed through a process of close listening, research, selection, and storytelling, shaped carefully to reflect the uniqueness of the subject. For some, the monograph becomes a way of honouring family histories or preserving memories; for others, it offers a chance to gather decades of work and thinking into a lasting and coherent form. In every case, the book functions as both archive and legacy: something tangible that can continue to be shared, revisited with continuity across generations.
For me, the process is both rigorous and deeply rewarding. Being entrusted with the responsibility of shaping how a practice, life, or collection is remembered is a privilege, and each project becomes a meaningful exchange of trust, attention, and care.
The resulting artist books are substantial publications, produced with high-quality printing and a strong emphasis on image-led storytelling.
In the case of artist books, the artist typically already has a substantial catalogue, and the book offers a chance to revisit the full breadth of their practice, identifying key works, tracing connections across time, and shaping a narrative that reflects both development and continuity. This often involves a considerable amount of investigative work: locating artworks held in public and private collections, tracking down dispersed pieces, and carefully reaching out to collectors and institutions to request permission to photograph and include the works. This stage is often unexpectedly collaborative, with consistently generous and positive responses from owners and custodians.
The resulting books are substantial publications, produced with high-quality printing and a strong emphasis on image-led storytelling. Alongside extensive visual documentation, they may include commissioned essays, conversations, personal writings, archival materials, and reflections from friends, family, curators, or collaborators, offering multiple perspectives on the subject and its wider context.
More than catalogues, these books function as tributes and acts of preservation, carefully constructed records that honour a lifetime of practice, experience, or contribution while creating a resource for future audiences. They hold space for stories, artworks, and histories to continue being seen and understood over time.
