The L.A.S.H. trail journal and zine documents a month-long section hike on the Pacific Crest Trail from the US/Mexico border to Agua Dulce, California. This zine was designed to accompany a body of work with the same name. The L.A.S.H. series is an edition of 30 unique transcribed anodized titanium paracord brooches to echo the accounts and emotions of each day. I use the symbolism of color and pattern to help convey my state of mind: one piece for all the days pre-trail, one for day zero, and 28 for all the days I was actively hiking. Functioning as part diary and part exhibition catalog, the zine includes each titanium piece from the series superimposed over photographs from the trip. I embrace the grainy inaccuracies of risograph printing as a process akin to recalling memories. Fuzzy, yet filled with warmth, and hazy as if half-remembered.
