Pencil and pen drawings of three local trees encountered on local walks: “Oak”, “Chestnut” and “Apple” trees led to a series of colourful 2-D artworks, seven and a half experimental poems and a prose piece.
Before the UK Covid-19 lockdown, The Mollusc Dimension had already moved back home seven years ago to live with his mum, following a traumatic bereavement. For many years, as a QTPOC living in Essex, he struggled to even effectively name intersectional rage and convey it. Thanks to Black queer trans feminist art and writings, he learnt the language to ask more interesting questions, the final one in the zine being, “Who is my favourite character from “Pose”?”
