In 2024 I designed the publication Brick, Bread and Biscuit, this book “presents outcomes from a two-year government-funded research project on the chemical recycling of precious metals from electronic waste for jewellery design in India. It is a collaboration between University of Edinburgh School of Chemistry’s Head of School, Prof Jason Love and the University of Dundee’s Prof Sandra Wilson who is personal chair in Ecological Metal Design. "Bread, Brick, and Biscuit" describes the work carried out in a EPSRC-GCRF funded project with metallurgists, metalsmiths, and designers from the UK and India.” Quote Source: https://chem.ed.ac.uk/news-events/news/(brick-bread-and-biscuit-new-goldrush 

In 2021 I designed 79: Mine, yours, ours. This book documents the work created by the Artist Désirée Coral during her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago between 2016 and 2018. The body of work within the book explores the ecological and political consequences of gold mining in Ecuador. Works from this book were exhibited at MANA Contemporary, Gallery 1922, Sullivan Galleries, David Salkin Creative as well as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit.

In 2024 I designed the Living Table publication. “The publication documents the Living Table project which was conceived and curated by G.R.E.E.N. Artist in Residence, Désirée Coral.

“The Magic Circle, an artist’s book created in collaboration with Alan Grieve, Gair Dunlop, Bill Duncan and Harris Grieve.” “this surreal and lyrical artist’s book explores the story of Alexander Keillor, the Dundonian marmalade magnate who used his wealth to buy and reset Avebury stone circle in Wiltshire, the largest neolithic stone circle in the world. Through conversations with invited guests, Summerton will discuss the book’s creation and the complex entanglement of class, wealth and power.” Quotes reference: https://www.royalscottishacademy.org/events/102-magic-circle-book-launch-discussion/
