Risograph

As part of a feminist zine project with Paper Rhino, I launched GAZE — a platform for women and marginalised genders to create bold, unapologetic work. With funding from Arts Council England, I bought a Risograph printer and ran workshops with 24 artists, producing spontaneous, personal pieces collected in a series of zines.

I contributed two typographic prints inspired by my mum’s words — “Where do you think you’re going?” and “It’ll all end in tears.” Reimagined through the lens of post-natal recovery, they explore exhaustion, isolation and the quiet strength of early motherhood.

Risograph printing is at the heart of this project — immediate, tactile, and brilliantly imperfect. I use it to print what moves me. Limited edition RISO prints available in the shop.
