The zines pictured below (images 3 - 4) were made especially for the forthcoming group exhibition In Suspense at Hand Held Gallery. The exhibition will run from 3 - 30 November, but because I will be overseas at that time, I've had to complete the works well in advance. Also pictured are a couple of 'roughs' followed by the original artwork.

The brief given to invited artists by curator Megan Herring was to "submit small scale objects that are designed to be suspended and for which the act of suspension enhances or subverts their reading."
Although Girls in High Places #1: Rope Trick and Girls in High Places #2: Flying High can be read separately, the second zine can equally be read as a sequel to the first.
