Composed of recreated archival photographs originally taken by my five-year-old son, Griffin, paired with my own current reflections of the time, ‘Through My Child’s Eyes’ chronicles a chapter of time when new life and near death momentarily sat side by side. 

Concealing artwork beneath perforated pages and revealing personal stories within a fold-out cover, the book further mirrors my life experience. It encapsulates memories of stitches, sutures, and skin repeatedly punctured, immortalising irreversible scars within its printed pages. 

Created as an invitation for readers to embrace life's imperfections and find beauty in the unexpected.

An amazingly sophisticated book... The narrative is powerfully supported by the design strategies. These result in a book that slows the reading process enabling the poignant story to be communicated.

I cannot recommend it highly enough - it is a poem. A powerful, visual, visceral poem.

It is difficult to put into words how deeply this moved me - the most treasured book I own so far, completely blown away.

It was a really wonderful, tactile thing, that made me acknowledge not just how brave you were to share your story, but how marvellous your brain is. What a talent you have for storytelling.
