Tract - Poetry by Simon Armitage with 12 illustrations by Hughie O'Donoghue RA

I've adopted a different approach to the design of Tract in that Hughie's images will not appear opposite the text. Both the text and images will appear on the recto. The images will also appear beneath a translucent sheet.
This is for a number of reasons including; the depth of colour in Hughie's images, the idea of 'uncovering' the image as part of an archaeological excavation and that there is no direct relationship between Simon's text and Hughie's images though they are both investigating similar subject matter.
These photos are from an unbound sample copy of the book which I'm aiming to publish in March 2021.
