Description
Hardcover, 112 pages, published in 2017. This book is a unique portrait of creatives in one of London's most dynamic areas. Over three years, photographer Jenny Lewis captured the stories and spaces of artists, from fashion designers to ceramicists, inside their studios across Hackney. The result is an intimate insight into the creative mind, with each artist sharing their thoughts on the process. The project has grown organically, with many creatives nominating someone else for the book, creating a 'family tree' of East London's artistic community. However, this book also serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by artists in the borough, who are struggling to stay in their studios due to rising rents.
