—

With a growing stain, Mold follows the downward spiral of sexual addiction and its consequent ruin on the self. Fuelling the descent through abstraction, constraint poetry and visual stimulation; there is no denial of degeneracy. Laid between confessional and fictive, Mold is telling of a new wave of the sexual revolution. So, give in and melt your brain.

A young woman stands alone in the fierce aftermath of grief. After the sudden death of her father, she is forced towards the impossible task of moving forward. Bees explores the chaos of bereavement through a blend of poetry and prose, capturing the most poignant and personal moments of a young woman in pain. Part memoir, part fiction, Bees is a love letter to the children who survived.
