Chapter 1: Confettis

Odds & Ends by /ræk+ŋ4/

Confetti is an edition of 100 packages containing only recycled matter and meaning. It is a gathering of personal glossaries and interests in how we define words in many languages. Two vocabularies come together to ask, in a deconstructed zine format, what do we mean, and how do we mean it?

For the entire catalogue please see https://www.heilamng.com/rak-ng/ch1-confetti

• Confettis: shredded gift bags and hole-punched photos 
• Definition cards: is’s , are’s , was’s , were’s , and many other ways of defining
