A VAGARY OF IMPEDIMENTS & A SNEAK OF WEASELS
A small zine by Gracia Haby

Edition of 60
May, 2009

A 10.5cm X 15cm, 52 page colour and B&W zine with a pale-lilac cover and light-grey card spine, with a cardboard backing.

Featuring 24 original collages (in both colour and B&W) and listing 140 collective nouns, this zine includes visual responses to a diligence of messengers, a catch of fish, an embarrassment of riches, a ticktock of clocks, a prickle of hedgehogs, a muster of soldiers, a volery of birds, a spring of seals, a colony of fungi and, of course, a vagary of impediments and a sneak of weasels.

A zine takes shape slowly,
Adding salt to the week with a thump.
A chine of polecats carrying four new zines.
Delicate.
A spring of seals and other details.
Animalised.

Inspiration drawn from the collective nouns and their exploration on A skulk of foxes & a husk of hares.
