Description:Self-published zine. Pamphlet binding with staples. 20 pages. "Inter/dependence and these related projects have their origins in the Artists' Personal Impacts Survey. I created and conducted this 40-question survey to explore positive psychological benefits of art practice. It was completed by 112 visual artists. Upon reviewing responses, I noticed respondents' emphasis on relatedness via connection, community, and collaboration. I also found that a subset of respondents who self-organized activities had stronger opinions, were more active, and were more likely to stay active. I explored these practices in greater detail via follow-up correspondence. These findings are presented in an essay and nine data visualizations in Inter/dependence, a 20-page 'zine. I further summarized the overlaps in the 10 qualitative responses by creating four hand-drawn Venn diagrams. I hand-lettered respondent's quotes to further explicate the diagrams. Finally, I sewed a flag to represent how peer artists comprise an art world that I want to participate in." -- the artist's website
