Glint is an experimental artist book created and edited by Natasha Katedralis and Tiziana La Melia. The publication was produced in conjunction with Tiziana La Melia’s exhibition Country Mouse City Mouse Hamster, shown at the Or Gallery from Feb-May 2025. It includes contributions from James Albers, Emily Fedoruk, Jenn Jackson, Kiel Torres, Christian Vistan, and Alison Yip.

Recall the plastic gem that fell off of the purse that makes one feel like a million dollars, that to the eyes of another looks cheap but deep down reminds us of the stars.

Glint is a junk drawer that contains both treasures, refuse and notably, the stuff that is most essential for living. It’s also where you might repurpose a broken broken broken pin that reflects a ray of poems in the shape of domestic objects overlaid on top of film stills, unseasonal trend cycles, contaminated taste buds, dissolving bouillon cubes blurring the distinctions between the rural, the urban and agrarian cycles that irrigate thinking between fantasy, food and fashion. In Glint, every effort to contain elliptical ideas glitters into more facets of sparkle matter, joy and abandon. Formally, Glint evokes a tabloid, a newspaper genre whose etymology refers to tablets or compressed medicine, which we now know in media to be associated with bite-sized content.
