Desert

Desert (2016) is one book of an eight volume set Notations (Gall Editions), co-edited by me with Paul Clarke. Desert presents notebook pages by Tom dePaor in parallel with a corresponding set of photographs which I made over a 10 year period. The publication gathers this material chronologically, and without hierarchy. It inherently questions our ideas of drawing and documentation, and their relationship to place. In this publication I occupied several roles; as series co-editor, as volume editor, and as contributor, photographer and book designer. In eight separate volumes, Notations brings together drawings, notes, collage, photographs, and appropriated images taken from the notebooks of seven architects/practices who use them as both reflective and reflexive forms of thinking and practice, and a collection of texts by Clarke.
