it's all for you grew out of a love for books and zines. as a little girl i wrote stories and made books and magazines. the stories were all about families with tons of kids and the magazines were always copies of bop or teen set or seventeen. i loved to write and draw pictures. i also read all the time growing up and collected picture books.

i am older now and my fascination with this media remains as does my interest in collecting and archiving. it's all for you is a space for the community to see, touch and experience books/zines in a warm friendly domestic environment: my apartment. in order to preserve the work and to make sure anybody that wants to see it gets the opportunity all work remains in-house. it's all for you is a fun place for people to hang out and enjoy some of the most evocative, personal, challenging, exciting and funny work around.
