The enigmatic beauty of Sean Parfitt’s work is vividly encapsulated in ‘Lindenborg Pool,’ a distinguished addition to the world of limited edition art catalogs. This volume reflects Parfitt’s remarkable artistic prowess and profound ability to tell stories through his art.
‘Lindenborg Pool’ is not merely a catalog of art pieces; it is a visual narrative with each page weaving together a profound tale of emotion and intensity. Parfitt’s unmistakable style, influenced in part by the prose and verse of the legendary William Morris, weaves a story across the catalog’s pages, each image a chapter in an intricate narrative.
The specifications of this publication are a testament to the careful attention to detail that defines self-published book printing. ‘Lindenborg Pool’ is an A4 portrait booklet featuring a 4pp cover printed onto 300gsm Keaykolour Tangerine. This choice imbues the catalog with a vibrancy that mirrors Parfitt’s expressive palette.
The 96pp of text are printed onto 120gsm House Uncoated, and the black print throughout offers a stark contrast to the colourful cover, giving each image the space to breathe and command attention. The catalog is trimmed, collated, and perfect bound, aligning with the standard of perfection in Parfitt’s work.
The printing process for ‘Lindenborg Pool’ was guided by a keen desire to accurately convey the spirit of Parfitt’s work. The goal was to create a physical artifact that was not only a catalog of images but a tactile, immersive experience that would draw the reader into Parfitt’s artistic universe. This mission was accomplished through thoughtful design choices, quality materials, and precise printing techniques.
Ex Why Zed’s portfolio includes numerous other projects which mirror the quality and intent of ‘Lindenborg Pool.’ One such work is David Cass’s ‘Where Once the Waters’, an artist’s catalogue that beautifully translates the themes of Cass’s work into a printed format.
Similarly, Alice Instone’s ‘The Pram in the Hall’ provides a rich exploration of the intersection of womanhood and creativity. Like Parfitt’s catalog, ‘The Pram in the Hall’ is a testament to the power of art to communicate deeply personal narratives.
In line with the tactile narrative presented in ‘Lindenborg Pool,’ the ‘Helen Glassford Artist Catalogues’ offer an immersive look into Glassford’s artistic journey. Her catalogs serve as a tangible record of her evolution as an artist, much like Parfitt’s does.
‘Lujan Cordaro’s Illustrated Sketchbooks’ is another outstanding addition to Ex Why Zed’s portfolio. ‘Illustrated Sketchbooks by Lujan Cordaro’ present the artist’s sketches in a format that complements her unique style.
A final example is [‘Vessel’ by Craww & Shaun Friend](https://exwhy

In essence, ‘Lindenborg Pool’ embodies the passion, intensity, and artistry of Sean Parfitt. Its creation is a testament to the power of art and the enduring beauty of print. As Ex Why Zed continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of art catalogs and monographs, it is projects like ‘Lindenborg Pool’ that pave the way for continued innovation and excellence.
As a piece of art in its own right, ‘Lindenborg Pool’ reinforces the value of the printed medium as a method of presenting and preserving art, reflecting Ex Why Zed’s commitment to the highest standards of quality in limited edition art catalogs.
