Mostly shot around London , what appear to be cut and paste or collages, are actually contact sheets – but with weeks of planning before the shoot takes place.

One wrong shot during the run, and the whole process has to start again…

This is his take on Oranges and Lemons…

Looking and seeing anew 🙂

And who knew about Risographs (1980s Japanese, drum-thermal-plate duplicating technology that uses ‘real ink’ just like offset printing)

But now we do 🙂

Thank you Amandine and Rute and Tower Block Books, and of course GA too!

I think this is a case of left and right sides of our brains, or is it the other way around?
