Laith McGregor’s practice is the focus of this artist book intent on a state of flux. Its fold out art-cover is multifaceted and can be appreciated from any orientation. The title throws up clues and converging voices but doesn’t promise definition – yet its storytelling is generous. ‘S-O-M-E-O-N-E’ takes the dogleg with a mix of fiction and analytic texts amongst full bleed and passport size reproductions of McGregor’s drawing, watercolour and sculptures from the last five years. In the opening pages a short story by Romy Ash doubles down on McGregor’s psychic, layered, cumulative and diaristic works, later Robert Leonard’s taxonomy offers insight into his beard, pipe and portrait motifs.
