Laurindo Feliciano for The New Statesman

Laurindo Feliciano for The New Statesman (editorial, illustrator, The Artworks)

In this commission for The New Statesman book review, Laurindo illustrated a long literary essay revisiting D.H. Lawrence’s Why the Novel Matters and asking what the novel means now.

'Rather than a portrait, I wanted to translate Lawrence’s idea of “tremulations on the ether” into an image: a mind as a resonant field, where layers of thought overlap, vibrate, and reshape each other. A landscape becomes consciousness; echoes stack into forms; books disappear, return, and shift meaning with time—alive, unstable, endlessly re-read.'
Words by Geoff Dyer for The New Statesman
