Strange Paradise, 2020
Strange Paradise, a zine for strange times.
In March 2020 we weren’t sure what was ahead, but we knew we needed to work on something tangible—together. Over the spring and summer, we captured moments of isolation, uncertainty, curiosity, and wonder. As with all of our work, this became a conversation—between images and between our collective experiences. After many, many Zoom calls, we’re very proud to present Strange Paradise.
Strange Paradise includes a curated selection of 36 images from all six Small Talk artists - Audra Osborne, Briana Cerezo, Jennifer Timmer Trail, Kelli Pennington, Kristy Hruska and Marico Fayre. It is 40 pages long and printed on newsprint, staple stitched.

We’re Always Touching By Underground Wires, 2018
Small Talk Collective's first book! Featuring work by Audra Osborne, Briana Cerezo, Jennifer Timmer Trail, Kelli Pennington, Kristina Hruska, Leslie Hickey, and Marico Fayre.
Change is incremental, barely noticed, until it’s sudden and irrevocable. A house slowly ages and wears, until abruptly, it’s demolished and gone. Inside our own homes, we find imperfections and repairs, evidence of former occupants and our former selves. We feel these transitions and make new connections: between a bird discovered in a field and one dismembered by a cat, between the furrows on a face and those on the landscape, impressions left on skin and in memory. We look for change and find its mark. We look at what is, attempting to find the shape of what was.
