I Can't Ever Get Home

I Can’t Ever Get Home by Shannon Leslie is now available to buy from Gaada’s online shop or and at Gaada during the Open days this weekend.

The publication was designed and printed by Shannon with the help of Gaada during Shannon’s Workshop Bursary which took place over the last few months.

Shannon wrote about the making of the publication in her blog post:

“I brought some of my personal sketchbooks to the workshop. Strewn about the table were loose sheets, small drawings and monoprints. It was only from utilising their large table space where I placed each piece and began rearranging them, I was able to put them together in a cohesive manner and figure out where I would like to go. 

What was first a small book-making experiment consisting of a few pages, then evolved into something far richer. My zine focuses on intimate monoprint entries from my personal dream journal. It is something I keep to help my understanding of the unconscious mind, but also to keep track of my own mental health.”
