PROJECT: amass zine 01 – OBSOLETE

I am drawn to empty noticeboards/advertisements. My favourites are those that appear to have been abandoned for quiet some time, but when I’m just walking past somewhere it’s not always easy to tell if they’ve been given up or are just in-between notices. It doesn’t really matter – at that point in time they are calling my attention to a void.

A foldy zine featuring some of the Obsolete collection is available to buy as part of Amass Zine, a set of three zines documenting collections of things that catch my eye when I’m going about my day.
