Art in Book Form
Other Editions is a book publishing project I started in 2017; mainly to publish my own work, but also to collaborate with other artists.
The topics I explore focus on the everyday and the city — questioning how we see things and how we make sense of what we notice along the way.
My books aren’t just catalogues of my work — they’re art projects, meant to be books from the very beginning.
We often think of art as a form of self-expression, and of course, it is. But for me, it’s also about how to communicate an idea in a way that can connect with others.
To me, making books isn’t just about showing pictures or telling a story. It’s about creating a space—for my work, and for the reader. to slow down, reflect, and connect with something that feels meaningful.
When I start working on a book, I don’t assume people will automatically be interested in what I have to say. That thought actually helps, it reminds me to stay open, and to think about how the work might be perceived, and how it communicates to someone else. That’s why I keep exploring new kinds of visual narratives, and try to find new ways to connect and interact with people, especially those who don’t know me or my practice.
With a background in architecture, making a book often feels a lot like planning a building. During the process, I’m constantly shifting between the big picture and the small details — like moving between urban planning and interior design. The content, the structure, the cover — even the size of the book — all develop hand in hand. That’s where the process really begins for me, and that’s what I think turns it into art in book form.
