Our latest commission will be unveiled this Wednesday 16th July at our offices. A film about the making of it can be viewed here

A Bathymetric Atlas of The English Lake District, is a unique hand-made book measuring 120 x 120 cm. Conceived and devised by Christian Barnes and commissioned by Locus+, it reveals the hidden contours of the principal lakes in the English Lake District at a scale of 1:41250

A Bathymetric Atlas of The English Lake District was folded, cut and assembled by hand at Book Works Studio using template drawings produced by Price & Myers

To accompany the project we have commissioned and published a new text by Dr Mark Haywood, entitled Double Negative, that further explores the concepts within Christian Barnes's work
