Two zines. Two albums. Identity authorship under pressure. First public run: 5.
The same figures you already know. A new lens.
Refractory follows eighteen figures from myth and story through labels, roles, expectation, and force.
In print, Distortion & Her and Distortion & Him consider the figures in two parallel studies: misnaming and containment; role and expectation.
In sound, Grounded and Charged rearrange the field again — moving through restraint, structure, pressure, expression, rupture, and release.
The work changes depending on the angle.
This limited edition brings both forms together, with one small instrument for turning the lens back toward yourself.
Includes:
• Distortion & Her — limited-run, signed and numbered, full-color, 5.5×8.5 Refractory zine
• Distortion & Him — limited-run, signed and numbered, full-color, 5.5×8.5 Refractory zine
• Grounded — full album as downloadable WAV files
• Charged — full album as downloadable WAV files
• Self-Redaction / Law of Motion art card, offers a simple and personal continuation of the work
Also included: a signed Killing Darlings art card from the 2026 side quest.
For those who want the work in handheld artifacts, sound, and something of their own to carry forward.
