Field notes, north coast

The weather does the editing.

A season of work made in one place, shown in the order the light allowed. The photograph is yours; the plate is your theme's paper, and nothing written here ever sits on the image.

In this issue

Three essays from the north coast, a portfolio of new work made between November and March, and a conversation with the printer who has run every edition since 1998.

North wall

“We hung the smallest print first, and every decision about the room after that was a reply to it.”
