DESCRIPTION

May The Road Rise To Meet You aka 'Trust' is a zine that was designed alongside a sculptural work for an exhibition setting. The concept of May The Road Rise To Meet You centers around the idea of trusting your gut or your intuition, and using the physical anchor of desire lines as a metaphor to carry this concept.

'...paths & tracks made over time by the wishes & feet of walkers, especially those paths that run contrary to design or planning. Free-will ways.'
(Words by Robert Macfarlane)

This zine is Letter Pressed and Riso printed.

Desire Lines: A path that pedestrians take informally, rather than taking a sidewalk or set route; e.g. a well-worn ribbon of dirt that one sees cutting across a patch of grass, or paths in the snow.

This Project was a part of a research trip to Connemara, Galway in which Hannah McKenna physically researched the location and responded to it. The idea of desire lines was at the front of her mind the whole trip and when she visited a church and found a small pamphlet with this old irish blessing, she decided to design this zine around it –

'May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, 
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.'
