MORE PAINT (signed)

$60.00

A meditation on place and power, MORE PAINT sketches a portrait of Seattle in the midst of unraveling and reassembly. Brandon Bye’s photographs are sharp and disquietingly familiar—scenes we pass without seeing. Paired with spare, unsentimental prose, Bye captures a city grinding against itself, a city where homelessness, policy, and civic identity crash and splinter.

Between permanence and erasure, ownership and displacement, this debut photobook is a study in tensions. It invites us to question the forces shaping our environment, to stop and look again at what gets covered up, and why.

Item Description

Photographed over two years and spanning 160 pages, MORE PAINT documents a pivotal moment in Seattle’s history, following as it navigates the layered politics of public space. Across seven chapters, Bye offers an unfiltered reflection of the city’s shifting identity, tracing graffiti, encampments, and the architecture, and aesthetics, of erasure. Printed on uncoated stock and bound with care, the book stands as both object and archive—a still-point amid the motion, preserving the textures and patterns of a city remade.

Preorders ship in August 2025. All books will be carefully packaged and include tracking.
