Stung, Issue #16 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. Issue #16 is 20 pages and features a mix of original illustration and text. "I wanted to make another zine tribute to David Lynch, and for this zine decided to make art and write about all of his feature films. Illustrating a character from each movie, I was thinking about how Lynch's films can feel disjointed on a surface level, but when you pay attention to what's being presented to you, you'll understand more. I thought about the various themes in his films that recur like identify, disassociation and duality. And came up with the idea so slice up each portrait and reassemble it onto a hand painted background. I then wrote about each movie. I hope this zine inspires you to revisit and rewatch his movies, or check out the ones you haven't seen."
