Straw Bale Towers is a limited-edition broadsheet publication. Printed in 2025, it documents the towering straw bale stacks that briefly appear each autumn across the East Riding of Yorkshire. The publication explores these temporary structures as symbols of seasonal change and the quiet, enduring rhythms of rural life. Functional yet sculptural, fleeting yet monumental, they transform the familiar landscape into something momentarily unfamiliar.
This publication is both a visual record and a meditation on how we see and remember the countryside.
