Manifold / Colin Sackett, publishing 1984–2024

From a review of forty years of artworks and working files, Manifold examines the variety of publications and associated works in sequential order. It details and illustrates the ideas and methods that contributed to over a hundred and fifty individual projects, by way of page plans, annotation, and quoted and explanatory texts.


Online—each of the thumbnail pages below can be clicked to open a pdf in a new tab, so the complete book can be read page-by-page, and the files downloaded freely. Certain subjects are planned to be viewed as double-page spreads: [A–Z], Stop book, sidesaddle, kswhatab etc., Sections, locomotor, rota, abrv, way, lightbox/keyboard, Spate; and are ideally viewed as two-pages in a pdf reader.
The arrows return to the top of the page.

Publication—the printed book will be available later in January 2025; the extent of 192 pages in large-format, 250 x 350mm, high-quality digital on recycled cartridge and perfect bound in board covers. It will be published and distributed directly by Uniformbooks, and production will be in batches, on a print by demand basis.
