This zine shares my time as an Artist in Residence at the Fire Island National Seashore in June of 2018 and the daily mail art project I created while while there. Every day that I was in residence I wrote and illustrated a postcard to the then head of the EPA, Scott Pruitt. The written content expressed my unhappiness with the rolling back of restrictions on water and air pollution in the current administration, particularly in regards to large corporations impact on the environment. Fifteen postcards were mailed to Scott Pruitt over the course of two weeks. 

Upon my return to my home studio I also created a several, prints, drawings and a zine documenting the #postcardstopruitt project and the landscape of Fire Island National Seashore. While Mr. Pruitt is no longer a part of the EPA I think it is vitally important that viewers of this work and those concerned with our long-term impact on the environment remember that the policies he started to enact are still being pursued by the current administration. If you are interested in seeing the complete photo documentation of the process please follow me on instagram @amandamaymaciuba and find the #postcardstopruitt hashtag. 

The zine itself combine images of the people and places I interacted with everyday, images of the postcards, drawings and sketches created while in residence as well as documentation of the text mailed to Scott Pruitt. Photographs and scans of objects are combined and overlaid overtop each other with written text summarizing the experience, including the response from the EPA. The interior pages are digital colleges printed on copy stock and the cover is silkscreened. The zine exists in two editions of thirty.
