Selection of scans from Perpetual Stew Archive

Perpetual Stew (or "forever soup") refers to the medieval culinary tradition of a continuously simmering pot of stew, where ingredients are added and replenished over time without ever fully emptying the pot. This process creates a dynamic, ever-evolving dish, rich with layers of flavour that accumulate from its history.

Perpetual Stew is the name I gave to my archive evolving record of inspiration, where the archive is regarded as a continuous field where materials are constantly added, rearranged, and reimagined to spark new ideas. Printed twice a year, each edition of this artist book captures a moment in this ever-expanding creative process, blending past influences with fresh perspectives to generate something uniquely rich and enduring.
