EDITORS' NOTE

WHEN WE STARTED PLANNING OUR THIRD PRINT ISSUE, WE DECIDED ON THE THEME DER BLAUE REITER. INSPIRED BY KANDINSKY, WE MADE MOODBOARDS AND CREATED A STYLE THAT WAS FILLED WITH VIBRANT COLOURS. AS KANDINSKY DID, WE STROVE TO UNIFY ART AND SPIRITUALITY. THE BEGINNING WENT SMOOTHLY BUT AS WE REACHED THE EVENTUAL REALISATION OF THE ISSUE, OUR LIVES WERE FILLED WITH CHAOS AND TRAGEDY. MEGHAN, SANDRA AND I LOST A MOTHER AND A FATHER. WE WERE BITTEN BY WILD ANIMALS. WE GOT SICK AND HAD TO GO THROUGH SURGERY. THE PAST FEW MONTHS HAVE BEEN THE WORST WE'VE KNOWN, AND THIS PERIOD OF TRANSITION WILL CERTAINLY LEAVE ITS MARK. OUR FEELING OF DER BLAUE REITER IS NO LONGER WARM AND POSITIVE, BUT IT IS, AS KANDINSKY WOULD HAVE SAID, FREE.
