Release of Midnight Grotesques

I am very pleased to announce that my third book, Midnight Grotesques, has been published.

MG is a collaboration with US-based artist Michelle Lynn Dyrness – something we cooked up and spoke about at length during the pandemic, exchanging ideas and words and images across time and space. The composition was like a dream: it was a project that allowed us to shut out the world and turn inward, something we both did during the late hours in our respective parts of the world – hence the midnight.

The final product, published by Sublunary Editions, is now available in book form. The design of the book-object itself was just as collaborative, this time also drawing in Sublunary’s publisher Josh. I love Michelle’s work and thoroughly enjoy the challenges that come with pairing image and text – and Josh is a publishing dynamo. The whole process has really been a testament to the magic that comes from creating in collaboration.

Really proud of the strange little book that we have put together. Order Midnight Grotesques here.

Midnight Grotesques Cover + Pre-order

I’m very pleased to be able to share the cover of Midnight Grotesques, my small, experimental book with California-based artist Michelle Lynn Dyrness.

Midnight Grotesques started as a pandemic project – Michelle and I trading images and text across the planet, playing on ideas of provenance and the uncertainty of narrative truth, slowly building what this would become. I am a huge fan of Michelle’s work – while I consider myself fortunate to have collaborated with her a number of times, this is the first time our vision has been pushed to its extent. Big thanks to Joshua Rothes for his support and belief in the project.

Midnight Grotesques will be published by Sublunary Editions on December 5, 2023.

Pre-orders can be made at Sublunary.
