PaperWork magazine focuses on providing an interdisciplinary platform for visual artists engaged with the spoken and the written word, with emphasis on challenging the form and function in print.

"I like how it sounds a bit like wimmin. Wimmin-ing. It’s queer and i and i, like we. It’s lots. Very plural-y. And very very and so. Sounds like lips and ellipses and singing and kissing and something about size, like a thing that is small and growing. It’s funny how ppl get upset from internet comments about bad lipsing. Lipsing is verby it’s doing. It’s now. It’s painting the chin and cheeks so the lips stand out. It’s a tongue in another mouth. To go inside your body. The i’s are quite wavy i and i and i and i and i and i. It’s slow then it’s fast. I’m thinking about the shapes the sound makes my mouth. what words do with me. ii is air muscled out. When did I suck that air iin even? iilwimi lipsing is nice to say softly against the hand. Rushy."

PaperWork: iilwimi lipsing is about a politics of not-translating and listening with a feminist ear which can also be an eye, skin or fist. PaperWork is organised and edited by Jessa Mockridge and Catherine Smiles. With additional support from Daphne de Sonneville, and this issue includes work by Uma Breakdown, Carl Gent, and Halima Haruna.
