Released on the occasion of Drew Escriva's inaugural solo exhibition Bird Show at Umico Gallery, LA. When Drew first came to me with the idea of a zine to accompany her beautiful work for Bird Show, I didn't know what the outcome would be, both in its content and physicality. It’s not really about birds, there are only a handful of birds in it. It also ended up being an proper book which (as a zine head) I was not expecting, but that’s ok. I am thrilled to share this representation of Drew's work and am excited to release the book. “Bird Show is a culmination of imagery created over the past 6 years, inspired by a bird obsession and a desire to memorialize life’s seemingly mundane moments.” In the artist's words the book is a culmination of six years of imagery inspired by a bird obsession and by a desire to memorialise life's seemingly mundane moments. Colour photographs of birds, water, nudes and landscapes.
