The Lagoon Empties Zine by Rachel Simmons
"The Lagoon Empties, 2024, edition of 12. Saddle-bound risograph zine featuring landscape drawings and travel notes from a 2013 residency in southwestern Iceland.
This sequence of contour line drawings and incomplete travel notes presents a fragmented narrative about the flawed nature of memory. Created with materials from a 2013 residency in southwestern Iceland, revisiting my observations years later feels strange; the language seems specific and vague, concrete and ethereal, personal and universal. The vivid greens and blues evoke the vivid mosses and turquoise glacial waters we saw on our travels." - Rachel Simmons
