POSTCARDS FROM... BUT FOR THE MOON NOBODY COULD SEE US
A small zine by Gracia Haby

Edition of 60
October, 2008

A 10.5cm X 15cm, 24 page colour and B&W zine with a pale grey cover card and gold card spine, with a cardboard back.

This zine is the third in a loosely grouped series of postcard collage zines (I and II). Expect within the pages of this particular zine to discover seals of all kinds, the odd aardvark making a tentative crossing, various big cats and black bears, and even an Arabian onyx in possession of a poor sense of direction.

Featuring many of the postcards seen at Imp Gallery late 2008, as part of the exhibition, But for the moon nobody could see us, with Louise Jennison.

Collage on postcard, 2008. Titles of works as they appear.
Talking to me in a long forgotten tongue.
Closer to home, things began to make greater sense.
I am certain this will never work.
A chance sighting.
Feeling weightless agreed with me.
Hold that line.
Blending in I found all was revealed.
Feeling out of place in Switzerland.
Looking for a way out.
A keen sense of direction failed the Arabian onyx.
Searching for a way in.
Obsidian this size is hard to come across.
An aardvark tentatively crosses Lake Louise for seven years good luck.
I am not a natural fisherman.
Donald’s tools and graphite.
I found myself suddenly alone.
A smooth-tailed tree shrew in search of a smooth-trunked tree.
Looking and not finding.
Regarding the Devil’s thumb.
Casting shadows longer than the trees could ever hope to.
Making the most of it whilst we still could.
Feeling at ease.
Building a makeshift tipi by Vermillion Lake.
