The Lumen Seed (NY: Daylight Books, 2016) is now out of print, so I’m offering it to everyone free of charge as a pdf or on my academia.edu page as an ePub HERE (WordPress doesn’t support ePub). This is a collection of photographs and poems created in the Tanami desert while travelling with Warlpiri friends. It feels like quite an old book to me now, as my whole art practice has changed since this was released. Some of the people in this book have now passed away, so please be careful if you’re an Aboriginal person. At the time of publication, nobody was kumanjai and I had permission to use everyone’s image.
