Describe your work:
Spontaneous, experimental, simple.
Describe the "Layouts" series:
While editing and working through my photographs from the past couple of years, I realised how many I have that won’t make it into either my A-series or brick-themed series (as yet untitled).
I felt that a lot of these images weren’t strong enough to sit on their own, but I didn’t want to throw them away entirely - so I’ve combined them into layouts with two images each, where they are hopefully stronger together. Being a book designer by trade, I of course enjoy placing multiple images onto a page, and considering the negative space and relationships between them. I hope to create more of these Layouts in the future.
What's your favourite work within Art Gazette's inventory?
Really tough choice - but I think I’ll go for the "In the Round, David" by Lucienne Bestall. I have such a vivid memory of seeing David for the first and only time when I was 11 years old. It was mind-blowing.
I love Lucienne's work on Art Gazette - we obviously share an interest in art books and layouts, and the reproduction of images.
