Journalism // True Grit (SUITCASE Magazine Vol. 31)

I'd been in discussions with the photographer David Yarrow's team about the possibility of securing some exclusive images from his latest shoot in Marfa, Texas for some time before the coronavirus pandemic hit. With both of us in isolation, I interviewed David about the relationship between creativity and commerciality and discussed how the pandemic might make relevance art's new imperative, accompanied by a few of his striking, nostalgic, monochrome images depicting a different kind of freedom. The final article was published in the summer 2020 issue of SUITCASE Magazine, aptly titled The Freedom Issue.
