Into the Dark | Out of the Dark

I authored the introductory essay and edited ‘The Edge of Language’, a reader to accompany the Patron Edition of Sam Winston’s ‘Delicate Sight’. The edition cel­e­brates engage­ment with Winston’s project A Del­i­cate Sight, and helps to fund fur­ther pub­lic engage­ment. It con­tains a folio of prints, a unique hand-drawn book cov­er created by Winston in the dark, and the accom­pa­ny­ing reader featuring the essay and a conversation between Winston and Ray­mond Antrobus, Bernar­dine Evaris­to, Don Pater­son and Max Porter.

‘A Del­i­cate Sight’ (2021) marked the cul­mi­na­tion of Winston’s explo­ration of dark­ness as a cre­ative prac­tice and includes the draw­ings he cre­at­ed dur­ing his month-long res­i­den­cy, and the writ­ings of Antrobus, Evaris­to, Pater­son and Porter, which were inspired by their own dark­ness residencies.
