Maker’s Magazine, Issue 5: Home

Maker’s Magazine is a bi-annual print publication that celebrates creativity, craft and storytelling.

Each issue reveals a different theme, inspiring the golden array of contributing artists to wander the depth of their creative practice. A valued platform not only for showcasing an impressive collection of visual work, but for building meaningful dialogue around the human experience.

Independently published in Canada. Experience stimulating visual pleasure coupled with such honest, artful writing; simply transportive and challenging us to explore our own definitions.   

The fifth issue welcomes you into the most intimate spaces we know – our homes.

Rooted in the physical, emotional and spiritual, home is a relationship we share with the spaces that hold us. It is in the cracks of the floorboards and the soil beneath the apple tree. Home sees laughter, joy, tears, grief, change and growth. Embracing us as we unravel, and continuing to do so as we stitch ourselves back up.

The contributing artists explore home beyond the physical. Bringing you from the deserts of Arizona, to the forests of coastal British Columbia, to the saltwater of the Pacific. Painting windows of their home and inviting you to look from inside out. Talk of spaces past and present, old selves and new, fragments of memories, and forever homes in our bodies.
