Reviews
-
Sensitively edited, Chris Fite-Wassilak's interviews have been formed into standalone monologues that, together with Ollie Harrop's intimate photographs, feel direct and personal, as though we are visiting these artists in their homes or studios.
Times Literary Supplement
-
... the glossy, magazine-like publication gives a platform to older painters, poets, illustrators ... there are nuggets of wisdom scattered throughout ... One of the book's great strengths is Harrop's sensitive and insightful photographs
