Flag Zine

2015

In this plein-air participatory artwork, each person was given a textile object that they could use to alter their perception of and experience in the immediate desert landscape. Each object consisted of an “arm’s length” of translucent neon fabric, sandwiched between simple chipboard covers. Participants experimented with looking through the zines and eventually worked together to form a structure by entwining the fabric together. The title of this work refers to zines both formally, as content between covers, and also the zine as a site for self-expression and the building and re-enforcing of communities.
