Description
This book is a celebration of the extraordinary variety of Calum Colvin's work from the past four decades. Tom Normand comprehensively explores the artist's collection, selecting core subjects and ideas, examining diverse tropes and genres, and reviewing topics and issues. Each chapter is supported by visual examples of Colvin's work to create a rich narrative that recognises the ways in which thoughts, motifs and ideas surface in Colvin's photography and form a mosaic of associations and perceptions.
