Exhibited in May 2025, as a part of the Loose Ends Collective, at PINK, Stockport.
In “Sooner Told”, Harrison explores her own hesitation and discomfort about difficult communication and challenging conversations – especially those surrounding her own mental health and well-being. Continuing to use the publication's bounds and unorthodox photographic print methods to dissect how the artist book can be used as an uncomfortable object, they create a physical embodiment of the anxiety the artist faces.
“It’s not that I’m ashamed – I just can’t find the right words”
By creating chaotic and disturbed imagery, representing Harrison’s almost-daily reality, further pushing the image through screen-printing, she elevates the tactility commonplace found in the book, forcing the viewer to engage with the story Harrison strives to tell – one of self-protection and preservation, but familial love and care. This screen-printing, alongside a textured page, contrasts the “traditional” photobook, further challenging the role that the book holds as an art object.
