Black Country Type Book - Tom Hicks

Black Country Type is the first major retrospective of the work of artist Tom Hicks.

This book is a Photographic Journey Through the Post-Industrial Landscape of the Black Country - from 2017 to 2023, Tom has expertly captured the beauty and evolution of the area through his lens . It serves as a tribute to the social history, culture, and personality of the Black Country that comes through so well in Toms photography.

With a strong emphasis on colour, Hicks focuses on words, typography, handmade lettering and signs. He also photographs ‘types’ of architectural features, objects and structures.

Black Country Type features over 100 images, many of which are published here for the first time.

The book features a foreword by the artist and photographer John Myers.
