SOFT RIND #3

'Show me your shadows and I'll show you mine.' 

Submissions for issue #3 of 'SOFT RIND' are now open. 

Issue #3 will be THE SHADOW ISSUE.

Artists and writers of all disciplines are asked to submit work on theme of SOFTNESS and SHADOWS. This can include one or both themes. All mediums are welcome

Previous issues have housed painting, poems, fabric work, sculpture, and digital art. Issues 1 & 2 were a great success and made their way all over the world.  

You can find previous issues on Patreon: www.patreon.com/softrind

A bit more about the themes:

Softness can mean openness, tenderness, or vulnerability. It can mean observation of gentle human nature. It can be moments of deep feeling.

Shadows can mean beauty in the mundane, or appreciation of the natural world. It can also mean the other side of light, or repressed human desires. 

You might want to comment on the interplay between softness and shadows. Or you could have a particular love of a certain shadow in your house or neighbourhood. You maybe want to explore the relationship between the light and dark in your self. 

The themes are expansive and flexible and can be interpreted in many different ways. Please do with them as you wish. If you are stuck, or unsure about what you can submit, please feel free to email for further clarity:

If you would like to contribute to this project, it would be an honour to have you involved. The first and second rounds were incredibly special. The collaborative nature of the project is so powerful.  

All submissions should be emailed to neomastanford@gmail.com AFTER you have purchased a submission below. If you are submitting multiple pieces, please adjust the quantity of submissions accordingly. 

Deadline for submissions is Friday 14th February 2025 00:00 GMT

Thank you SO much for getting involved. I'm so excited to have you on board!
