i love when a project can keep tendrilling out into new forms. this all started sometime last year when i was sitting with corinne and yaz in the backyard at casa caracol with a pomegranate. i started to rub the seeds on my paper and trace all the negative space and color contours. what began with a few seconds of smearing resulted in an hour or so of meditative drawing. it felt a lot like the slowness of translating a poem.

over the next few months i made several of these drawings in a little notebook. later, when i installed PAPER BABY, i decided to include the notebook surrounded by scans of the drawings and to host an event where people could make drawings of their own. it was a wonderful way to share time together. and now the zine has felt like a way for that time to extend. there's been the time i've spent scanning, doing layout, printing, folding, gluing, assembling, and creating this webpage. but then there's also the time people might spend with their copy of the zine, showing it to friends, remembering that morning years from now.

if you'd like to print your own copy of the zine, feel free to email me at ryanhgreene1 [at] gmail -- i'd be happy to send you the file with some instructions.
