Josh MacPhee | Wash Your Hands



Josh MacPhee
Wash Your Hands
Brooklyn, USA: Justseeds, 2020
[84] pp., 24 x 16.5 cm., staple-bound
Edition of 200


The 23rd title in the MacPhee's Pound the Pavement series is a four colour Risograph print and four single-colour Riso zines, housed in a riso-printed manila envelope.


"A couple years ago I started collecting graphics of hands I found on signage out in the world, particularly ones containing two hands. I had an idea to use them to create a zine called Many Hands Make Light Work, but the reality is that almost all of the graphics with two hands were from bathrooms: hand washing instructions. Not so useful for a project about labor, but strangely perfect for one about a pandemic. So here I present 78 instructional icons about washing and drying your hands, collected between 2015–2020, assembled into four 5.5” x 5.5” booklets and an 11” x 17” poster."
