Japanese Stab Bound Book - Artist's Proof


This is a short video about a recently made Japanese Stab Bound book of small selection of my Botanical images. It includes a poem "What is it about a garden?" by talented poet and dear friend Bridget Frost.

I’m fascinated by the enigmatic characteristics of time, especially in relation to photography. These pictures were snatched from my time’s tide, and are now both rooted in a particular moment while simultaneously floating away into an indefinite, uncertain future.


My usual practice is to make multiple visits to any area of interest, often over an extended period, and these images are ‘snapshots’ from several recent series. They act as an introduction to recent work, all made in 6x6cm format and on film cameras. For many more images please visit www.ragsoftime.co.uk.


Signed, limited edition prints - made entirely in our studio - are available, as are monograph collections.
