This is a zine made by Liv with Citation Needed.
Questions like “Who invented money?,” “How do you get the air in bubble wrap?,"What is above the clouds?” populate Lines, lines, and more lines. Threaded between watercolor paintings and careful swirling line drawings, this book asks hilarious and existential questions. Utilizing an inversion function on the xerox machine, most of the images are utilized twice; honoring the original and its inverse.

Citation Needed is an intergenerational publishing initiative, supporting the creation and production of artist books by 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Through a weekly workspace, participants generate individual and collaborative books, utilizing photocopiers, typewriters, and a range of drawing materials. Citation Needed provides project-based arts experiences for children while amplifying their voices through the printed matter and book arts. This initiative is led by artist Ari Wolff, in collaboration with the 14th Street Y After School and Printed Matter / St Marks.
