1. Wild: Wildflower Rolling Papers

ype Used

Cooper Nouveau by Oswald Cooper

Getai Grotesk by Sylvester Tan

Trade Gothic by Jackson Burke

There is an apparent lack of ecosystems in urban spaces for pollinators to thrive in. As a solution to the lack of wild vegitation, and the over abundant littering of cigarettes, I designed a brand and intervention that can be actualized through stoners. This creates a harmonic action, using someones persons bad littering habits to repopulate urban areas with patches of wildflowers.

2. Fuck Off, Terf

Risograph on letter paper, stitch bound
Copies: 2

This zine is based on an open letter sent to the Women’s Prize in the UK, a literary prize given to influential women writers. The subject of the letter was disapproving of the award given to Torrey Peters for her book “Detransition Baby,’ and the zine in turn dissects the arguments put forward by these anonymous writers based on real feminist theory provided by the Sociology Review’s text, “TERF wars: An Introduction”.
