Locked On transmits coded messages through graffiti inspired glyphs and camo patterns, often distorted and bouncing between frequencies. This transmission is broken up by a collection of 6x4”photographs, which give a glimpse of Hodges’ SS16 collection, Blackburn’s Children, which is the source material for the publication.
Locked On operates as a pattern swatch-come-look book, showcasing the screwface subversity which inspires his collections. This attitude is further captured in the scrappy format of the book, which comprises of 10 multi colored Risograph sections, mull bound with both photocopied, and offset printed inserts.
The book also includes a transcript of South London poet Hector Aponysus’ spoken word piece which, along with Visionist, soundtracked Hodges’ catwalk show.
