The book is printed and pre-orders posted.
In the end I raised enough funds for a limited edition of 50. My main concern was that it looks a quality object and the printers got there in the end.
So, thirty sold, another ten for the copyright libraries and publishers who gave permission to use quotes and the rest for my visit to New York and a show I’m having at Filament 14 (where my studio is in Oxford) at the end of September.
It’s been a long drawn-out process, there have been so many versions, in the end I stripped it down to the bare essentials and the final version is quite vague, I opted for a simple obscure title: “Are There Any People Here?” and let the photos speak for themselves without descriptions – hopefully enough to stimulate thoughts and emotions. The context arrives at the end of the book with the chronology and journal.
The end of a very long journey – it seemed right to end the project with a book, but now (due to some recent encounters) I think it may be the start of a new chapter.
These exciting encounters will follow in the next posts…
