Zines by Jade Walsh and TooT Zines launched in Sticky with live performance from The Fluffs, Friday May 6th at 6pm.About Jade Walsh: Jade Walsh is a visual artist who works with fabric, print, painting, text, sculpture, performance, public art and video. She writes poetry and makes zines, products, and also performs music in the electro duo, The Fluffs.She makes art about the vulnerable, emotional, odd and amusing in relationships & friendships and believes in Art as a social tool and way to empowerment. She has exhibited nationally and internationally travelled to USA & Europe for Screen-printing residencies supported by Australia Council Grants.“I draw from human states and social realities such as loneliness or singledom and the need for love and contact because I feel it intensely myself. I need to deal with it through art and ideas. I go out and have conversations with people and return to my studio to draw about it and from it. Art is social and is for me a way of connecting with others. ”about toot zines.TooT zines began in 1998 with 2 cheeky design students needing to express themselves in paper and page layout.Based in Brunswick West, Melbourne it continues to spread the punk, independant and creative.jadewalsh.com.au zines events
