A zine takes to the stage.

{Milly Sleeping, Carlton store, transformed for LookStopShop.}

Never one to be able to resist the suggestive wink of the book when it comes to collage, the same, too, could be said of the zine. The line between Louise and my artists’ books and zines with each year that passes seems to draw these two forms ever closer. What began as a cut, fold and staple zine affair has grown to become something altogether more elaborate, something more akin to our artists' books. So too several artists’ books in existing publications that we’ve in some way altered through collage and drawn elements. Today, what we refer to as a zine straddles with ease the space between zine and artists' book by way of small publication. We’ve zines that could and are by some called artists’ books. Personally, I mind not what people call them. I simply enjoy making them and if I had access to either large money pot or free photocopier stocked with paper and ink, why, I’d make even more of them.

At Milly Sleeping you can find our newest zine featuring all twenty-eight collages from the Whose Lights Were Now Seen Glittering series.
