the polaroids are of a shrine i built in my room of small, sentimental pieces of junk that i felt too attached to to throw away. includes a few bouncy balls, broken key chains, an old vape pod, votive candles that i pasted photos of my friends’ faces onto, etc.

this is a post card to my beloved friend on his birthday

I’ve been wanting to make a distributable zine for a while now, so I figured it could be considered a piece of public art. I was inspired by asco’s aesthetics and their reclamation of nausea/disgust as a powerful art-making tool. I made the zine as a sort of reflection on the covid crisis as well as my personal state during quarantine. I don’t want to be a smart ass but I do not necessarily think that it’s important; it’s a piece of junk philosophy. i’m going to send copies out to close friends and maybe post a printable link somewhere it is a critique of Amerika/her weakest links. This is a country of cultural voids; we are the cult of the lewd cartoon. it reflects that nothingness and resents it! i hope that, if i distribute it in the town where i live (Roswell, Georgia) it will give somebody asco enough to interrogate themselves/their culture/their govt
