Abstract: From the introduction: This zine is about objects. Things that surround us. Material Stuff we have found, and that has found a way into surroundings, one way or another. Objects define who we are. We also use ojects to define our image, whether real or imagined. Then there is junk, like that I’m trying to get rid of, but can’t seem to part with. The stuff itself is not really what’s important. The objects represent something, like memories. Objects are reflections, or outlines of ourselves or of our desires, or possibilities of what could be, or what we could be.
