Mark Littlejohn

In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by Mark Littlejohn to talk about his work and his book Kelp.

 
 
 
 

I’m supposed to be writing a few accompanying words to the book you’ve just opened. But instead, I’m looking down at the glass, drinking in those gorgeous tones. My brain working out how to capture this little moment in a picture. Was I always like this? Looking at everything in my life. And seeing the beauty in those little fleeting moments. That are here and gone in an instant. But remaining forever etched on the crumbling walls lining the dusty hallways of my mind. These pictures of kelp are a little like that.
