Designing&Producing
Books/garments that I have designed! with exception on the My Yard project in which I was a creative producer and consultant :)
These are a selection of t-shirts I designed for a collaboration with Story mfg.
Inherited Weather is book that I designed using the photography series and essay I had produced whilst being mentored by Frank Lebon, focusing on the highest highs of the skies and the lowest of the ocean to understand genealogical traumas and what is passed through via nature and nurture.
Dream Baby Pt.2 is an archive book of my practice from 2010-2025 and features a wide span of media, all content and design by myself.
Food Polls vol 1 is a fun, flick through book of over 140 food polls conducted on my instagram stories. What began as a silly idea, has ended up in an abundance of conversation and a way to form instant connection, it has also resulted in lots of discussion around class and access to certain kinds of food.
This project was a deeply special, collaborative process with the young people and residents of the Grange Farm estate in Harrow. WIthin this project, I was a creative producer and consultant in the workshopping and resulting publishing process. Details of the group are here and there was widespread press for the project, of which snippets can be seen on the last slide.
This was a set of two books published by Worms in 2022 and 2023, featuring the collection of photographs of words in the world taken by myself and my collaborator Clem MacLeod. Both books feature essays by P Eldridge, and both publications are designed by myself. Copies of the second book, Remember you are loved are available at https://www.wormsmagazine.com/shop/p/remember-you-are-loved .
Under the series title of Jaws of Life, I published three party bag/artist book editions over 2020/2021/2022 which explored a different emotion in each edition. The image here is of the second edition Hope you’re feeling better, which was a series of 111 party bag books with each one containing a different drawing, two books, a handmade keyring, limited edition designed stickers and curated sweets. It sold out via my own website, bookfairs and independent bookshops across the U.K. From the publishing of these works, I begun to lecture, host workshops and hold lectures about my practice and the art of independent publishing.
I made 30 1/1 bookmarks with 5 different designs and individually attached tassles and beads in co-ordinating colours for the Seed Readers weekend at The Dream Of in Hackney. The imagery and phrasing focused on the spirituality of reading and how it connects us to our fellow humans and natural world.
‘Knot’ is a book I designed featuring the work of Cecily Loveys Jervoise, printed and bound by the both of us. It was made to coincide with her MA degree show at Slade and features a text written by me about her work and our friendship. Using the photocopier and scanner as a documenter, it interweaves different themes involved in her practice and draws on different books I have made previously for design inspiration. There are a few copies left for purchase, so please enquire if you would like one. It was a really interesting experience to play with formal design work, photocopies and risograph pages bound with fabric from Cecily’s natural dyed archive that is a key part of her practice. Books ! Yay !
