Judge’s Comment
“This entry displays the quiet craft of ‘getting it right’, of combining craft, aesthetics and making the right decision so the work ‘speaks’ clearly. The framing of the images and the architecture of the layout is articulate and well considered and, as should happen with catalogues like this, creates a refined journey for the reader.”
