Stung, Issue #10 BK / Zine
'Stung' is a monthly zine made by local Melbourne photographer and visual artist Sally Townsend. As a photographer and visual artist, Sally describes Stung as a place for her to share artwork, photos and text and as a way for them to connect through sharing ideas, art and music.
Each month's full colour issue has a different theme, which will either be a reflection on a topic Sally is interested in, or their feelings about the world around them and their experiences.
"When I was a live music photographer, I always wanted to capture emotion. Since I’ve been painting again, I’ve wanted to see how accurately I could capture emotion with my paintbrush. So what better way to start than the big, raw emotions on screen in horror movies?!
I wanted to pay tribute to iconic final girls, the women who went through it all and survived. This is by no means the definitive list, but a selection from different sub-genres and eras.
Issue #10 is 28 pages features the acrylic paintings I did of a selection of Horror Heroines and some text about the movies included."
