The Spreads and spot illustrations I made to accompany Joan Didion’s Slouching Towards Bethlehem. The images were made with a focus on passages of text capturing the light and the landscape of California.

Some of the influences on this image making were:

-Kurt Vonnegut and Ivan Chermayeff: Sun Moon Star

-Georgia O’keeffe: Sky above clouds

-Sanzo Wada: A Dictionary of Colour combinations

-Richard Diebenkorn: California landscapes
