Experiments In Self Publishing
So I made a book. First book I've made since college art class. To see some of the images take a look at a previous post - neither here nor there
The theme is the Northern Irish coast — the sea border. There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about that border, so I liked the idea of looking at another one that’s always been there. The coastline feels like a different kind of border — not political really, just the edge of the land where everything meets the wider world. Where that border political lies is for me, neither here nor there.
The title also comes from Seamus Heaney’s poem Postscript, which is about driving along in County Clare. He writes about those moments by the Atlantic when the wind and light and movement of the sea catch you slightly off guard — when the landscape hits you in a way you can’t quite plan for. That idea of the Atlantic edge, and those fleeting moments along the coast, felt like it fitted what I was trying to capture here.
There is also a pdf version available for £5 if the book is too much at £26. Blurb are always doing discounts though so you can usually get for 20% off or so.
Anyway — just thought I’d share it. First attempt, but hopefully not the last.
