A Book Of Field Studies: Stephen Gill

Another artist who has produced work that could be regarded as a typological collection is Stephen Gill, particularly his book "A Book Of Field Studies". I have looked at his work to see how he builds up collections over time, and how he presents them.

This series on the back of billboards is very interesting to me. Gill looks into subjects that we see every day, and presents them together, to give the viewer a chance to see the subtle differences and similarities between them.

This concept of the collection is something that I am beginning to want to feature prominently in my work, and will work on that from now on.
