SLEEP TORPOR
by Florence Shaw
Sleep Torpor is about a girl who has rapidly changing moods.
Florence Shaw’s first comic, developed as part of the Santoro Correspondence Course, experiments with the use of found narration sourced from online forums, synthesising personal experiences and collective feeling. Dealing in particular with anxiety and depression, the frames shift between sparsity (reflecting emptiness as well as moments of calm) and the claustrophobia of panic.
Throughout, a wide range of layered tone and line is flattened both by the riso printing method and use of single colour, visually echoing the leaden heaviness of exhaustion despite the heightened emotional states depicted.
REAL STATE (SPRAYED)
by Asta Meldal Lynge
A visual essay with text by Eleanor Ivory Weber looking at
the relationship between housing, capital and image-production.
Semi-fictional aphorisms play out in a landscape of piledrivers, cement and skyrocketing homes as an attempt to grasp the intensifying and terrifying tendency of image-building. These newbuilds present themselves as aspiring icons or landmarks steadily floor by floor cladding the city in its marketed self-image.

DRUNK COMPLEXIONS
by Samara Scott
An interpretation of an exhibition and a new work in itself, Drunk Complexions takes its title from an entirely liquid construction assembled in a metal baking tray. The floating spray paint diffused on the water surface is reflected by the diffused silver ink on the page surface. In this printed layer an additional synthetic substance intermingles with those that the images depict. A deletion fluid applied, by Scott, with a variety of materials directly onto lithographic printing plates produces an iridescent metallic film that pools and swarms across the pages, submerging the images.

GOB FAUNA
by Tom Dowse
5 short stories set in an unsettling near-future landscape of undervalued service work even more precarious than our own.
The environs and characters are uncanny; the over-zealous middle management, pervasive surveillance and disposable humanity of late capitalism have prevailed and bloomed.
Interspersed throughout the texts are stark lino-cut images that appear as icons or talismans of the disregarded or broken while also depicting the persistent life forms surviving despite relentless hostility.

WORLD PROBLEM SOLUTION BOOK
by Chris Harnan
a visual diary that covers a period of 2 years. any re—solution is illusive. the re—remembered events have been re—interpreted and re—vised countless times, as the book chases truth and simplicity in a deep pile of re—fuse. for a while, the book was whatever the book needed to be, and it helped a lot.
