february 2024’s monthly zine, « EMBLEM OF MEMORY », is a small 16-page booklet printed in black ink on newsprint, housed in a color matchbook made from a closeup print of one of my collages. the pages use retranscribed text from an antique public domain book about the language of flowers for a dreamy effect. rather than using cut-ups directly from a book as usual, i typeset the text myself this time.
a big goal for this year is to grow the subscriber base for this project a bit. i'm a queer nonbinary working artist with disabilities related to mental health, and this project helps build a baseline of stability in my life while continuing to prioritize growth in my creative practice. it is a sizable endeavor to create a new publication with all-new work every four weeks--and i've been doing it since november 2020, without fail! your support makes these explorations possible--if you're interested in my work and what i do here, i would be most grateful if you'd consider supporting this project for $5 or $10/mo usd (i can mail anywhere in the world). thank you!

hi there! going to get started on printing and assembling these in the coming week. my housemate and i have had some unexpected financial events recently (loss of income, veterinary costs for our cats, etc) and it would be awesome to grow the subscribership of this project a bit. that income helps a lot, and i try to make it worth your while at $5-$10 a month! if you've considered supporting this project in the past, it is a great time to do so. many thanks and much love!
