Brodie Kaman's SHOCKING WRECK
“Self-expression is what keeps me sane – it’s healing, reflective and helps me digest things I am going through,” discloses London-based artist and designer, Brodie Kaman. Never one to shy away from difficult subject matter, Kaman’s new zine Shocking Wreck – a nod to the American poet Franz Wright’s Alcohol (1998) – is a risographed meditation on the 25-year-olds’ own struggles with addiction and mental health. Kaman’s second act in zine format (a follow up from his collaborative project, Solitary Recreation, published in 2016), Shocking Wreck is just the latest in a waxing list of first-rate endeavours from the young designer that include: founding limited edition label, Super Foreign, conceiving a prodigious body of posters and sleeves, and exhibiting at shows in New York and Sydney. Launching exclusively via THESE DAYS in DTLA (March 10th 2018), WestwoodWestwood shares a preview of this powerful new work.
