Bird Habit

Bird Habit is a zine by Brisbane, Australia-based Filka or 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...
