Rinko Kawauchi – Illuminance. Publisher Aperture.
Creative direction and design of book for Japanese photographer Rinko Kawauchi.
Kawauchi’s work has frequently been lauded for its nuanced palette and offhand compositional mastery, as well as its ability to incite wonder via careful attention to tiny gestures and the incidental details of her everyday environment. In Illuminance, Kawauchi continues her exploration of the extraordinary in the mundane, drawn to the fundamental cycles of life and the seemingly inadvertent, fractal-like organization of the natural world into formal patterns.
Gorgeously produced as a clothbound volume with Japanese binding, this impressive compilation of previously unpublished images is Rinko Kawauchi’s first book published outside of Japan.

The Garden at Orgeval – Paul Strand. Publisher Aperture.
Creative direction and design of book about Paul Strand. Essay and image
selection by Joel Meyerowitz.
After a lifetime of working on a series of “collective portraits” in far-flung places, an aging Paul Strand decided to concentrate on still lifes and the stony beauty of his
own garden at Orgeval, France. The work that constitutes The Garden at Orgeval is marked by close and careful study of the forms and patterns within nature.
Beautifully produced in the manner of a volume of poems, this book’s task is to do credit to Strand’s final work, both as an individual and as a key figure in Modernist photography.

Gideon Rubin. Publisher Karsten Greve Gallery.
Creative direction and design for first artist book for painter Gideon Rubin.
Using found anonymous photographs, often from the turn of the century, Gideon Rubin selects characters and scenes which he conveys onto canvas or linen. Using broad brushstrokes and a muted palette the figures and landscapes are often abstracted; details are effaced and scenes move in and out of the picture plane.
