Reasons for Art by Regula Russelle
This accordion fold out zine is a tiny reminder why art is powerful.
What you will find inside :
to awake the living
to comfort the dead
to know migrations of seasons, of birds, of fish
to feel the essence of shadow and light
to laugh, to love
to lament
to invite reflection
to inspire action
to honor the Earth
to cultivate beauty, gratitude, joy
to knit an expanding web of community
to give voice
to touch
to connect
“About a decade ago, I heard a radio interview with artist, Mary Frank. She described a list she keeps of her personal reasons for art. Since then, I have assembled many lists of reasons for art — with students, with Michael, and alone. The first three lines of this particular list are Mary Frank's. She inspired us all.” - Regula Russelle

Regula Russelle happily makes tiny books and zines — work that addresses themes of community and culture making. She has been recognized with a Minnesota Book Artist Award for her body of work and contributions to the books arts community, and has received support for her work from the MN State Arts Board, the Jerome Foundation, and the McKnight Foundation. Her work can be found in public collections, on kitchen bulletin boards, and in the occasional handbag. She loves the color yellow, hand-lettering, kindness, and singing (alone, with others, and with her three-quarter sized guitar). Texts of poems and of a couple other tiny books are available at RegulaRusselle.com.
