PROJECT: TRIVIAL MATTER

10 happy minutes chasing steam with my camera, imagined scenarios about the train ticket found in my second-hand book, a moment of appreciation for a favourite mug: TRIVIAL MATTER is an ongoing collection of the things that occupy my mind, sending me on random tangents when I’m supposed to be doing something else.

The TRIVIAL MATTER site is a space for sharing these musings away from my more commercial work, where you can also buy the TRIVIAL MATTER zine.
