Cameron Martin: analogue - Book Art Direction & Design
Art Direction and design for the third GHava{Press} publication, Cameron Martin: analogue.
Working closely with the artist over the course of nine months, I
had the unique opportunity to delve deeply into the studio archives to gain deep insights into Cameron's working process.
Purposely overlapping the traditional categories of artist book and monograph, analogue is an amalgam of images that forms a visual account of what motivates artist Cameron Martin’s methodology and production. New York Times art critic Ken Johnson has called Martin’s paintings “cultural signifiers, contemporary icons that stand for deep-running collective urges, like the fantasy of an intimate connection with nature.” The book’s non-hierarchical layout positions appropriated advertisements, travel snapshots, found images and studio pictures alongside reproductions of actual paintings and drawings, providing a complex view of the artist’s thinking about representation of the contemporary landscape.
Rayfin - Surfboard
Commissioned to develop a set of custom surfboard graphics, I was given the liberty to explore concepts around the Zen qualities of surfing.
