{Several foxes enfolded is available here.}
Here today a closer look at two new zines made to fill our zine table at this year’s Page Parlour. Once more, you will find the animal serves as our protagonist in Several foxes enfolded. The animal as symbol oft appears in Louise and my zines and artwork; we are fascinated by them for it is "the way animals are represented, in paintings, zoos, and film, (that) will always tell us more about how we look at animals than about the animals themselves". We use animals as a tool to represent us — our courage and lack thereof — and to hold candle to our fears justified and illuminate our vulnerabilities. As things of the earth, the animal represents our morality, and today’s animal is the fox.
{A set of two things regarded as a unit is available here.}
A set of two things regarded as a unit also features animals and some that have been drawn by Louise. A polar bear looks at their reflection, and kingfishers and Great auks rub shoulders with other duos, sets and pairs. There are two pieces of the one puzzle, two halves that together make a whole, a pair with hair to spare, and a sea vessel for you and a sea vessel for me. There is a pair of 3D glasses to enhance the creative vision and two seats recently vacated at the theatre. And more, friends, so much more.
Thank you to everyone who has already placed a zine order and to all those who stopped by our stall at Federation Square on the weekend. (Photos coming soon.) We think you’re swell. Thanks for taking an interest in these zines, one and all.
