This hugely entertaining Redstone collection will surprise you, make you laugh and see new things you might have missed.

"Redstone Press has produced another small masterpiece, a compendium of wonder and alertness. Seeing Things works like an exquisite volume of short stories, revealing with brevity the hidden and the human." –Andrew O’Hagan
"This eclectic treasure trove will open your eyes a little wider every day." –Harriet Walter
PRAISE AND REVIEWSThe Art Newspaper Gareth Harris Quirky and entertaining. Elle Décor Will make you see the world with fresh eyes. TLS Seeing Things is enriched by Charles Boyle’s droll commentary on the ‘banality of interruptions’ and other (Instagrammable?) concerns. New Statesman Tom Gatti Full of wit and rich in possible meanings, these are images that deserve a life beyond social media. Guardian Sarah Gilbert Broken chairs, pick-up trucks, frozen-food cabinets: the surprising images from the Instagram accounts of various artists, writers and musicians are brilliantly captured in “Seeing Things.” Cent Magazine Iris Farmer Taking a look at Seeing Things is a great way to get inspired, and urges one to look past the obvious and into the nuance that our world has to offer. Globe and Mail Nathalie Atkinson If ever the spirit of Instagram’s better angels could be captured between covers, this inspiring little book manages it. By culling elliptical imagery from the grids of creatives such as Neil Gaiman, Roz Chast, Peter Doig, Nina Stibbe, David Byrne and Andrew Motion, the cumulative effect is wonder.

Art Spiel Paul D’Agostino Nota bene: Prepare to fall in love, as Kamila Shamsie does, with an especially adorable and charismatic old pickup truck. It’ll at least make you smile, and it might well make your day – as ‘seeing things’ like this often does. |
