The final works for Homo-insecta, my
forthcoming show at the Art Vault, are finally at the framer and I can now devote
my undivided attention to zine-making.
To complement the exhibition, I’ve been
working on several folded mini-zines, beginning with The Yellow
Butterflies. The text is based on
a fairy tale, which I wrote in 2013 and published on Moth Woman Press Blog in
the same year. Since then, however, the story has been slightly revised; it
appears in its final form in the new zine.
The story was suggested by the enigmatic figure in an oil pastel drawing I made in 2002: Untitled (Yellow). The design of the zine was developed
with the aid of iPad apps, namely Strip Design, Butterfly Cam, Pic Collage, and
Phoster.
