“A new issue of what started as an experiment—16 pages of 2.5 inch squares to fill in one sitting on one subject.
Eualia #4 follows the same format constraints as the previous issues: Letterpress printed cover, riso printed inside, lots of negative space, a 3 inch square to fill on each page, on one subject and dedicated to a person. Ideally completed in one 24 hour period. However this issue took months to create because of its subject matter; post concussion syndrome. From my own experiences and from others I asked what have you lost since your head injury and what have you gained. All of this was inspired by a performer at casual outdoor show talking about how they no longer experience stage fright since their concussion.” - Hope Amico.
Eulalia 4 is risograph printed with a letterpress printed cover and handbound.
5.5” x 4.5”
