pinky issue 7

the theme of pinky issue 7 is "liminal spaces and dreams." 

in the latest hours of the night and the earliest hours of the morning, time loses its rigidity. this flexibility allows us to dream, or room to step outside of our lives for a moment to think — a rare opportunity, usually only attainable by coincidentally stopping into a 7/11, waiting in a laundromat, or stepping into a hallway for some air.

inside the issue you'll find...
