-
Henson revisited his childhood suburb and produced a new body of work that reflects upon his earlier series, Untitled 1985–86 (which flicks between 80s Melbourne suburbia and crumbling ancient Egypt). The new work was confidential until the end of the project, however, I worked closely with Bill on the other internals to get the size, positioning and order of the images right. For the limited edition the book comes in a cloth slipcase with the title force justified and set in a classic Roman serif, mimicking ancient Roman letter-forms carved in stone. The serif and restrained setting is continued throughout.
