Today we’re shining a light on the wonderfully talented book and comic maker, ~ a friend and regular collaborator of PageMasters 📚
Esther’s work is delicate and intentional through her exploration of personal and collective relationships to history, often informed by archival research 💛
St. Monday - a mini comic about work, based around the Saint Monday tradition of absenteeism on a Monday - a tradition that has been common among craft workers since at least the seventeenth century when the workweek ran from Monday to Saturday.
The Loving Huntsman (Part One) - a beautiful comic printed using sunflower and teal inks, based on ‘Lolly Willowes’ (1926) by Sylvia Townsend Warner.
Fond of Old Things - a pocket-sized zine, exploring “how comics might illuminate the process of archival research” through Esther’s current work on the 20th century historian, Hope Emily Allen.
Seized Books - featuring Esther’s illustrations of a selection of the 140 books that were seized from Gay’s the Word bookshop in 1984 alongside thoughtful research.
