I was there, 2019

I was there (vol. I and II), is a set of two limited edition artist books that portraits and tells the life stories of Kevin and Esta, two unrelated older individuals who lived close to my home in Brisbane. I was there translates my conversations with them into a material form through an unconventional combination of text, image, the blank space of the page and the book structure itself.
