"wearing your love <3" comprises a photo collection in addition to a zine of collages made with the images.
Saddle-stitch zine: scans of handmade collages with hot glue, glitter glue, bows, buttons, tulle, lace ribbon; 18 pages, 5.5x8.5”
"wearing your love <3" documents the exchange of touch between five pairs of friends and romantic couples. Each set of participants were supplied with a mark-making material to use while engaging in intimate play of the course of an hour. The materials included sand, glue and confetti, acrylic paint and silver leaf, glitter, and beet juice. I invited these couples to make a mess and imprint on each other in the ways that felt most natural.
