first zine i've ever made ! sketched a lot of topics but decided to go with a short and simple 8 pages one, based on my experience growing up as a queer neurodivergent immigrant kid, and how it affected my self image

After I was done mark-making I picked two pieces that related to my project the most and photocopied them multiple times to focus on the different details of both pieces. I also had multiple photocopies inverted which helped create a new and more interesting visual also.
I then used a paper cutter blade to create new shapes and collages from my mark-making work to further develop the work that was done on Monday. I wanted to further explore the idea of expansion, and growth as nature overtakes everything over time. I used the mark-making I had made with ink and water and used the inverted copy as a base and cut the other copy into thin strips, I then glued them down to create a visual of roots spreading and overtaking the page.
I found it very helpful to bring my work into a 3D form whilst also continuing to develop how I want to relate the ceramics elective to my project.
