We’re delighted to launch the first edition of CLOUT – curated by Paisley based artist Indie McCue.

“Curating the first issue of ReMode’s Zine ‘Clout’ was an important process for myself as an artist and as someone who is conscious about sustainability in terms of my general choices as well as in the fashion choices I make.

When looking at independent publishing and curating such a wonderful variety of submissions from new and existing friends of ReMode it was essential to me that a story was told and that it all flowed in a way that is visually interesting and acts as more than a zine but an art object that has longevity of life.

‘Clout’ was formed as a response to this obviously present lack of connection and communication surrounding issues of sustainability that negatively impact all of us be that in political ways, societal ways or both.

The physical design was strongly informed by a polished DIY aesthetic. Myself and Gillian Steel wanted the life of the zine to be as long as possible so the zine also doubles as a poster and we encourage it to be used in origami creation there after.

It has been printed using recycled and uncoated paper so that at the end of its life (when that comes) it can be easily recycled and naturally broken down into papier mâché or paper pulp for paper making where it begins its cycle again. I am excited at the potential of working with ReMode on more issues of ‘Clout’ and encourage everyone to get involved!
