Researching and trying to find a way to stamp dye onto fabric for RUE DES BELLES FEUILLES took a long while. Once I finally made giant stamps and Mattie made me a stamping surface with edges so I can line up the stamps, Mattie thought of a new project for himself – a giant zine. So he also cut out stamps while I was busy stamping on my linens, and he also stamped, not on fabric, but on paper. He also suggested that I make prints on paper using the same stamps I used on linen. Mattie chose to stamp with offset printing ink which takes some days to dry. So in between my dye mixtures, giant stamps, test fabric pieces, linen, drying rack, chemical water buckets taking over every floor, wall, even fridge space in our tiny flat, we also attached lines across the ceiling to hang dry the prints as we slept under them for several weeks.

The result is our two zines. These two are not your typical zine in size nor technique. We would like to show them to you in person this coming Saturday, November 4th at Module in Paris, from 2 to 8pm. Come by, have some candies, wish Mattie a happy birthday (it’s his birthday!) and flip through the zines. See you there! : )
