Migraine in Wonderland




Migraine in Wonderland
Emily Chappell (artist and editor)

Publishing Info:
28 x pages
A5 zine
Laser printed in colour with card cover
Scotland 2024

Description
Zine focussed on creative responses to the lived experience of migraines. This collective of 11 artists each uses their practice to share their stories.

"Migraine research is underfunded, GPs undertrained, support within society minimal, and the condition consistently misunderstood, ridiculed and undermined. 11 artists, including myself, have put forward a creative response for this zine. We are all based in Scotland, but geography aside, we all have migraine and a creative outlook in common. Responses were varied in tone and content, yet each was an emotive and humbling thing to receive. People are being generous with their honesty here." Emily Chappell, zine intro.

Publishing  Info:
28 x pages
Blue and black monochrome printing on cream paper
Illustrated as a narrative comic
Saddle-stitched 20cm x 25cm

Description:
This zine is a partial pastiche of a sketchbook that explains how keeping a sketchbook can be a useful practice for artists. It is narrated by the ‘teacher’ running the drawing classes and includes his thoughts and ideas about creative practice. The illustrations are a mix of metaphorical, educational, fantastical, and realistic. This is a lovely drawn manifesto in favour of the Sketchbook and gives a strong rationale for keeping one.
