Fostering the Microcosmos by S.E. Nash
Fostering the Microcosmos by S.E. Nash, a 12 page risograph zine published in 2019 at Oddities Prints Kansas City
The bubbling beginnings of Sean Nash’s vital work with fermentation is presented in “Fostering the Microcosmos,” a risograph zine written and designed by the artist. Sean’s thought provoking work with fermentation is visual, metaphorical, temporal, experimental, and community engaged. This short zine is an introduction to the artist’s thinking, including intersections with science studies, the microbiome, gender identity, and social practice. It is beautifully illustrated with two-color risograph images of his fermentation sculptures and projects throughout.
