Weโre proud to annouce a gorgeous new poetry chapbook by our friend Addison Bale: โSnakeskinsโ! Addison is an artist and poet from New York City. This collection of four parts touches on life, love, and existence. The words are complemented by striking imagery from Brooklyn based artist Julia Blasius. The release show at Molasses Books, Brooklyn was a blast and if you didn't get a copy there you can find one online here.
Between Us Two is a dream-like viewing into the mind of Singaporean visual artist Wei Keong. Riso printed on legal sized Finch Vanilla and French Pop-tone, hand sewn and stapled in an edition of 100 this zine is a special keepsake, and hopefully the first in a series of Wei's experiments with print. Poetry and printing by Mollie of Irrelevant Press. We are very excited to finally share this collaborative accomplishment with the world.
