Outset, the pilot issue of Hue, looks at the origin of ideas behind self-initiated works.

A wide net is cast over the creatives profiled in the magazine, who on the surface seem to have nothing to do with each other, making the Church angle a common denominator rather than a nuanced special interest subject.
