ABOUT THE WORK
The book contains a selection of texts that I wrote over the period of a few months in 2007 when I was at art college. The texts are proposals for artworks that were never intended to be carried out, but to exist in this form as written proposals.
Each book is signed and numbered, and has a unique vinyl cover design.
