I made this zine focusing on a photo that I have taken of some of my own stitching work inspired by artists such as Pym and Jiang. I used a play on words as I wanted to incorporate woven fabrics and also hair. I created a series of small illustrations that uses a very sketchy loose style similar to Basquiat's style.

This is why I wanted to cut off one leg of the jeans so that they can be worn as just the one leg to make a more revealing look or over the top of another item of clothing to create different layers and dimension...
