ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
Creating this zine was a self driven project inspired by a period of time when I was struggling to sleep because I couldn't seem to silence thoughts that were spiralling around my brain at night. Whilst lying awake I imagined that these thoughts were physical objects that I could banish from my head by putting them through an office shredder.
What materials and techniques did you use?:
I used a soft pencil to draw the individual scenes onto paper, scanned them, and assembled the zine using Affinity Publisher. Then the zine was Risoprinted by Out of The Blue Print in Edinburgh.
How were your illustrations used: After I created the imagery, the zine was Riso printed and it is now sold on my Etsy site.
