Full description

Postcard print of art created from the slow process of softening, cutting and twisting leaflets from medication packaging into fine handspun paper yarn. The letters cut from the leaflet are recombined to form words both comforting and cathartic.....set deep within a cut in the yarn, like a whisper.

If you have ever had crisis advice to have a bath or make a cup of tea, this postcard might be for you!

Made from thick 300gsm cardstock with a matte finish and uncoated on the back for writing on.

Other designs in the shop:

"Stop the world"

"Keep Breathing"

"Here for you"

"Fuck this shit"

"Praying for asteroid" straight on

"Praying for asteroid" diagonal

"Take your time"

The yarn ends in organic looking "leaves". Between the cracks and on the edges of the leaves is gold ink.

Whether your meds help you, are unwanted, or you are struggling with coming off them, they play a role in our lives. And we have to digest and reshape this experience to build our lives. The gold reminds me of Kintsugi, the Japanese practice of mending broken pottery with gold, as it follows the cracks in the curtain of yarn.

Designed by Bibi in Manchester
