Asylum was my first effort at a ‘zine’ or personal publication. Using work that produced over a 1 year period, the publication grew into something of personal creative diary. It was important to me for it to represent all that I do. Including design, photography, collage and research it is a cumulative display of my approach as a designer and artist.
Part documentary and part commentary, this publication casts it’s eye on the growing sense of frustration among our many communities. From the growing gap in understanding our environment from a pedestrian perspective to the conversation concerning representation and race, Asylum was made to explore this discourse in a space I found most safe, my work.
Contrast/Kонтраст is a publication designed to commemorate RussAm. A student service network that involved a collaboration between students from Russia and the United States. The publication features photography, writing and artwork by students from across the world. It was a pleasure to take part in this program. I was able to conduct interviews, design this publication and cap things off with a conference that brought things to a somewhat ceremonious end.
