Jan Beesley

In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by Jan Beesley to talk about her work and her series of books.

 
 
 
 

“Gestures of Love” is a collection of images of fallen leaves along the path to my front door.

I started to notice that sometimes there seemed to be a gesture between them, maybe one resting upon another or just huddled close together.

I didn’t arrange any of these groupings, I just captured them where they had fallen, before they became separated by the rain or the postman’s boot.

 
 
 
 

We also discussed a selection of Jan’s favourite photobooks from her own bookshelf…

  • Wish You Were Here by Vanda Ralevska

  • Elmet by Fay Godwin and Ted Hughes

  • Solace by Paul Sanders

  • Colors by Saul Leiter

  • Strandline by Paul Kenny

You can see more of Jan’s work on her website and find her on Instagram.
