Fashion is created in large part by the media. In the work I'm making for this show I'll produce a piece of media, a minature zine, and put that into the capsule. Fashion pops up in all aspects of life, and is really patterns of thinking among groups of people, and that is something this zine will hopefully examine.

Pocket Garden, 2010, paper, cardboard, book-cover cloth

My miniature books present a secret garden, which can be carried in a pocket. I explore the idea of books as a discourse on the ideas and questions about our interrelationship with natural world. By using paper as a basis of landscape, it reinforces the notion of the delicate natural world that we seek to manipulate and construct our images and desires from.
