About this project
Our collaborative publishing practice is a confluence of photography, art, and feminist research through zines and small-edition printed works.
Working across artistic practice and feminist environmental theory, we explore edge effects where water passes, materials, collaborators, and political forces. Our publications examine aquatic environments through feminist and multispecies perspectives, foregrounding practices of care and embodiment.
In our work, the printed page becomes a site for experimentation where images, text, and alternative photographic processes coexist. Our publications invite slower forms of attention to rivers, lakes, oceans, and the communities—human and more-than-human—that inhabit them.
