What is Shapeshift Zine?

Shapeshift Zine is a bi-monthly publication focusing on the concept of the eerie, bizarre, strange, intriguing and unexplainable. We are interested in all things that may disturb you, make you wonder, leave you in awe, or suspend your disbelief. The idea that art can be a conveyor of things we would never otherwise be able to experience is something we are always thinking about here.

Shapeshift seeks out these themes in every type of art possible. We look in photography, writing, painting, musings, etchings, happenings, performances, movies, found objects, and whatever else we may happen to find or you may happen to send us.

We like photographs that seem to appear out of nowhere; objects that move on their own; legends long forgotten from forefathers of culture; early photography; handmade books and printmaking; animals that can have human traits; the Victorian and Edwardian era; artists; writers; the list can go on and on (and it does if you click here).

Please enjoy Shapeshift Zine.
