  • Description

This zine features a collection of delicate pen and ink portraits made from looking at the blurry blown up margins of photographs of Trump rally crowds this summer. Amanda spent several days watching the RNC through VPN on a laptop while at a residency in Shanghai, China. Far removed physically from the political theater at play, her sense of frustration and individual impotence was especially high.

The drawings making up this zine began from this tense psychological place, but as she did them, they slowed her down and made her really look, ask questions and grapple with nuance (as drawing does).
