Six By Five Volume One, Issue One

This is not your typical photocopied, stapled zine. In fact, there aren’t any staples to be found. Instead, Six By Five creator, Joshua, has crafted a handmade envelope to the approximate six of 6 inches by 5 inches and stuffed in full of loose art, prose, and poetry. What ensues is an enjoyable and artistic experience. Each piece is to be appreciate for both it’s own worth and in relation to the other art and writing. The associations between the pieces are loose but one can really get a feel for what Six By Five is saying, or rather not saying — this particular installement has the theme “The way we harm ourselves nd everyone.” Like a day at a museum, the artists and authors are trying to convey their feelings but would also like you to evaluate your own feelings. Take a walk through an envelope of art and see what it does for you.
