Please join us for the release of a special edition of MAPALAKATA.
Launching at @parisphotofair this Saturday, 4pm at the @gost_books booth L15.
The special edition is comprised of a signed copy of MAPALAKATA, in a special edition clear acetate jacket made from a recovered GENERAL SURFACE PLAN — MSAULI MINE (AFRICAN CHRYSOTHIL ASBESTOS), 1968. (Above)
It also includes an 11x13.2” C-Type colour print of “MAKHONJWA, 2022”. Limited to 25 editions.
I will also be signing regular copies of the book and hanging out at the fair across the weekend. Get in touch if you’d like to connect!
“GENERAL SURFACE PLAN — MSAULI MINE (AFRICAN CHRYSOTHIL ASBESTOS), 1968”
Msauli Mine operated as a large-scale asbestos mine in the Makhonjwa mountains from 1948 to 2001, after which time the mine was deserted. The mining town was dismantled during Covid lockdowns when security staff were pulled off the site. Materials from the town and mining apparatus were extracted for scrap value or repurposed for building use in surrounding communities. Today nature has reclaimed its hold over the remaining buildings. This map was collected from the rubble when I photographed the site in 2020.

“MAKHONJWA, 2022”
The Makhonjwa mountains are a part of The Great Escarpment, which separates the high and lowlands of Southern Africa. They form a significant part of the Barberton Greenstone Belt — the unique and ancient geological formation on which MAPALAKATA is set. Some say these mountains were the first land to emerge from the waters before the time of continents. Deep beneath them are encased traces of the oldest

Surreal that ‘Down by the Hudson’ is published by @palogallery , with new texts by @amitavawriter @anicurateslife @matt_careywilliams and Daniel Wolff.
For over a decade I returned to one watering hole along the Wappinger Creek in New York. I started at nineteen and I’m nearly 32 now. This work is my love letter to one of the most beautiful places I have ever encountered, a place where the country’s high voltage is briefly suspended. People have swum there for centuries, maybe millennia, returning to rest, to heal, to fall in love. I have tried to make a specific document of that, and of how ritualistic return changed what I was able to see. It has been my own form of devotion.
I am grateful to everyone at the creek who let me photograph them over these years, for their trust and their openness. This work would not exist without @andrea_orejarena , who introduced me to the creek when we were students at Vassar and told me to photograph there. She has been its crucial editor, making some of the earliest crops and shaping the language around the work, giving me a framework for the place and for my response to it. Thank you to my family and friends for their patience while I obsessed and struggled to find the right shape for this work. Even as I’ve made other books and exhibitions in the last decade, I have always come back to this work, lived with it, kept making it.
The book exists because of designer @brianpaullamotte with @camillamarrese , @joannaraynes on image preparation, @enlargedheart on the tritone separations, Liz Johnston on the copyedit and proofread, and @giuseppescarpelli and his team at @graficheantiga for printing and binding.
A solo exhibition opens at @palogallery on September 10, 6 to 8pm, 21 E 3rd Street, NY. Books are available at the gallery and on the gallery site.

✨ February feels like the perfect month to celebrate the magic of metallic hot‑foil colors.
From warm golds to icy silvers, from vibrant coppers to bold holographic shades, every foil reflects a different mood, a different light, a different story.
These shimmering tones are also celebrated in our iconic 2026 Grafiche Antiga Calendar, where metallic foils illuminate each page with elegance and precision, turning print into a tactile experience of pure brilliance.
At Grafiche Antiga, we love exploring how these metallic accents transform a printed piece into something truly unforgettable: a glow that catches the eye, elevates texture, and turns detail into design.
In a month often painted in greys, metallic foil reminds us that color can shine, even in winter. ✨
