Bird Habit
Bird_Habit is an Australian zine from artist/writer Filka, also known as E J Zyla.
Bird Habit is the first in a series of zines based on 4 dreams that are re-interpreted/re-worked to step outside of any dream interpretation book.Bird_ Habit is a zine that has stepped beyond the perameters of what an art zine could be. More akin to a graphic novel than an Artist Book, it has been called an 'Art object' with 'Journeyman styled poetry'
EXCERPT - ...Bird_Habit was shown to me from a dream Set soaring, I am told stories to share and pictures to tie it together
Zine #3 for me but a 1st it is for the series – A place to shape dreams and cut a path for the future
Home truths
Memory + mimic
Shapes from an ago, almost forgotten…until now A watchful eye is a hand waiting
Sounding out my song
Peck…Peck…Peck...
