Marie Shannon is an artist who works with photography, video and drawing, and has been working with text for a number of years. She has made a series of videos using on-screen text, and sometimes voiceover, to tell short, autobiographical stories, or to reflect upon specific times and events in her life. She is the copy editor and proofreader for The Pantograph Punch.
In early June we held a launch event for our Pantograph Pals (and a celebration of our 13th birthday) at Season in downtown Tāmaki Makaurau. We invited a few contributors to speak to our journal’s past and its aspirations for the future, and to reflect on the journey so far. This is what our copy editor and proofreader Marie Shannon said about her work.
