‘With A Dictionary Story I was exploring the idea of ‘reading environments’ and what happens when you become ‘lost’ inside a book. I wanted to see what would happen if words could take on their own meaning without the help of the reader. My work often focuses on how we use language—from the order we read words to the shape the pages take. I look at existing books—such as Dictionaries, timetables, and children stories—and see if I can make new narratives from them.’
– Sam Winston

Winston’s typographic stories became widely collectible after he started selling them through London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts. His artists’ projects can now be found in many special collections in the UK and the US, including MoMA New York, the Tate Galleries London, and Victoria & Albert Museum. He has written for Baseline magazine and worked on various commissions.
