Blutopia

The Blutopia project culminated with a compact 256pp book of the same name — Blutopia showcases a purple patch of blue projects over recent years. The beating (blueish) heart of this dusky book is the rambling and twilight series of works on paper, Blutopia, which map the territory and take centre stage within it.

Richard Flanagan, Goulds Book of Fish
