About the book
Growing up as a typical car-obsessed American kid, Jory Hull detours from his familiarity and explores an outsider's view of the primitive, fascinating elegance of racing vehicles from a bygone era; an era of emotive graphic and mechanical simplicaity. The artist frames these machines as the colourful handmade tools that they are, contrasting the idealised objects that appear in the most automotive photography, often abstracting their details into almost pure graphic compositions. Despite a quiet beauty to these machines at rest, one imagines them at full fury.
