Boring Book, Dawn Parsonage. It's full of portraits of bored people, both contemporary as part of the project, and also found photographs of bored people through time.
This is an appeal for support to help with my practice, so do order a copy if you can!

Each page is dedicated to one person, lovingly stuck down to create a cascade of portraits of one person growing up.

Photographs of emotions are a big part of my collection. They link us to the people we see, they come alive.
