"SMALL CANDLES" A HANDMADE ART ZINE - LIMITED COPIES AVAILABLE. Numbered and signed zines

£25.00

This listing is for zines numbered 15, 16 and 18

A zine I didn’t intentionally set out to make.

A light contemplation of small candles removed from expected contexts. Each spontaneous still life was captured during 10 minute intervals in my mundane mornings during the anxious Spring of 2021.

Photos printed on fine mulberry and hemp washi handmadby a 300yr old paper maker in Tokushima, Japan. This paper was chosen for its moody ethereal translucency and tactile quality. Each inkjet printed page has been hand-cut and perforated by me.

The front and back covers are made from thick swirling mulberry washi, chosen for its soft strength and unique texture.

Each delicate art zine has been double stitch bound by me. (I literally hold my breath while stitching through each copy - I don’t want the stitches to run away).

Nothing about this art zine is perfect. It is slow-made using materials made by craftspeople and that means accepting the natural and honest nuances that occur to make each page, print, stitch unique. Intended to be more than just a quick flick-through, I hope that the thought that has gone into the printing, texture and light of the art zine will create an experience beyond a just visual one.

15 A5 photo pages (printed on one side)

A6 introduction and information insert (printed on confetti washi)

Available in a very limited quantity. Each copy will be numbered 1 - 25. Prints 1-5 have now sold out.

Will be presented in a kraft document folder and sent in a slim document box. (so it fits through most letterboxes).
