Old books, discarded, dismembered, or worthless and forgotten. Photographing these books over months, in ever changing light, the imprint of time revealed their contents. I was interested in showcasing the craftsmanship of yesteryear, of traditionally printed books before the digital age. Their texture and quality suggest a lost art. These images are delicately composed landscapes where perspective and perception are manipulated. Nuances of horizon lines ask, ‘what do you see?’
