TUMBLE & FALL
A small zine by Gracia Haby

Edition of 60
May, 2009

A 10.5cm X 15cm, 17 page colour zine with a peacock-blue cover card and black card spine, with a cardboard backing. Includes four black linen-paper pages with hand-cut smattering of stars. Featuring Tumble and Fall collages I through XII.

Remote and incandescent, stars hang in the night sky, luminous and fixed, held by their own gravity. Billions of years old, you can look upon them for a little celestial navigation and orientation, and you can even make a wish upon one.

A zine takes shape slowly,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Out gathering stars as they tumble from night sky.
Tumble & Fall.
Thought followed thought, star followed star.
A galaxy of stars.
Tumbling down. Best catch them quick.

This zine was included in the box set, ...and then there were none (edition of three artists' proofs, compiled 2011), made especially for the IMPACT7 2011 zine fair co-ordinated by Anna Poletti at MUMA. The three sets of artists' proofs were of a loose trio of zines that won the 2010 Artspace Mackay Inaugural Zine Prize, as part of the 2010 Libris Awards.
