Mutes Makes Self-Publishing

An ongoing publishing practice exploring photography, design and independent print production. The project currently spans All Work & No Play 2022 Calendar, In Japan photo book, wall planners and photographic prints.

Bringing together image-making, editorial layout, typography and production coordination, the work balances creative storytelling with considered print outcomes, turning everyday observation into thoughtfully crafted, self-published objects.

All Work & No Play 2022 Calendar hands you a colourful pair of glasses that allow ordinary situations to shine through in a humorous light. It offers an alternative way of looking when all that work and seriousness has just become too much. Let your hair down and play. Be playful not only in your actions but in your observations. If you look closely enough at your everyday world you might just make yourself laugh.

 

Spanning everyday moments, humorous parallels and energetic street scenes, In Japan is the result of being led by the camera, and pulled, stretched and pushed down various alleys, streets, parks and spaces. It’s an exploration into what unfolds when we trade expectation for observation and a simple desire to experience ordinary life as it unfolds.
