Michael C. Nicholson / ensixteen editions
A5, 32 pages, full colour throughout
£6 + p&p
Chameleon Skin Coat is a glorious Technicolor departure for the bio auto graphic series. It's an issue that reflects on the drives and darkness of creating, the chaos and coincidences that make up our daily lives, and the search for meaning in the post truth world.
Michael's distinctive approach to line and space abounds, and the addition of colour pushes this issue in interesting new ways by creating arresting graphic spreads. Walking the line between the intensely personal and the global is incredibly difficult to achieve, and bio auto graphic succeeds in doing so in both a poetic and profound manner, while maintaining humour and wit.
A graphic Michael states:
It appears I have to do this thing, if only to check I'm still here.But in doing so creates something that helps us confirm, in these absurd and brutal times, a sense of humanity and humility is still alive too.
There are a very limited number of copies left, so I'd get in quick.
