"Clutter" is a land-based zine inspired by a compiling breadclip collection & the alleyways of Fairview, my old neighbourhood in Vancouver BC. The theme of excess reminded me of the Buy Nothing group; a community driven project for gifting/exchanging.

Take a look.

On the cover is a scribbled-over map of the city, restricted to the central area of this narrative. These scribbles appear on the inside cover, next to a list of the member names & agreements of the group in fineprint [as of February 2022]. The zine's illustrations reference some odd posts from members on Facebook. At the end of the zine is an insert of my own contribution & sentiment to where this project began.

Originally, 10 copies were printed & distributed among the Buy Nothing group. These were riso-printed on Japanese bogus paper, hand-bound, & packaged in cellophane bags sealed with a breadclip--resembling a loaf of bread at the store. A care card was included in the package [pictured above]. For the exhibit "1355" at Slice of Life Gallery, a few extra copies were resurrected.
