Zine Project: Come In This Light

The brief was to create a ‘zine’ - a cheaply produced, easy to reproduce publication that reflects something of ourself.I chose to present my experience with depression. The imagery starts with a burning camp fire, then takes you into a forest, walking deeper as the trees grow more chaotic. Finally the image of the burnt-out log smoking from the inside draws a comparison from the first image.

I took inspiration from fromindianlakes; taking an awful experience in my life and presenting it in a beautiful way. All the photography was shot on 36mm black & white film when I went to the Forest of Dean, painstakingly processed and developed in the dark room, converted into halftone acetates and exposed onto a treated silk screen. These were then used to print onto delicate newsprint paper with screen-printing ink, creating a visceral, tactile booklet that is as much about the physical as it is the content. The pictures do not do it justice.
