As a group we've decided that it'll be best for our current practices to put forward a collective to approach and sell work at art markets as we each have individual prints and products. We have also decided that on top of this proposal we are also going to put forward a monthly zine under our collective name. We all feel this is a really appropriate context for our individual practices as we are not only interested in prints but creating zines and products such as ceramics, cross-stitch, fabric printing, weaving, knit & crochet. I personally am pushing my practice towards printed fabrics, fashion and homeware, therefore feel this would be a really great platform for my work.
Individually we each push our work through process a lot and capitalise on playfulness and colour. Therefore we have named ourselves The Beanbag Collective as it relates heavily to fun and nostalgia.
The zine plays with our existing work and new creations each under a set colour palette for each month, with focus to begin with on primary colours to really communicate our exciting work. Here are some mock-up front cover designs I have produced featuring my own work as well as Charlotte Bowie's, Annie Merrick's and Keiran Blakey's. The main focus behind the zine is to get our names out there and should be produced at a low cost making the product much more available as it is a cheaper product and universal to lots of audiences.
