As an hand made artist book in an edition of 25 which is being sold... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Interior of custom made wood frame) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale Back in August, I thought that I was posting the most boring photograph about Pine Lake, my artist book project, which I had taken to call by a code name: PL. Perhaps in first glance that appears even MORE boring, but I beg to... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Schipol, Netherlands, #6659) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale As I continue to develop this project, I also gain more clarity as to what is inclusive and what might be eliminated.
