Book Illustration 2023

In the words of the author Dr Deborah Wardle, Bill Sampson’s “intelligent application of his work to each chapter greatly enhances the book. His images illustrate how coalescence between surface and subterranean water and imaginary places can expand and shape imaginary invocations of groundwater’s presence.”
