Above image: The burning of the wicker chicken
On Sunday night, in a pleasant cider-haze, I stood in an industrial yard in the depths of East London surrounded by people dressed in inventive and outlandish attire.

REVIEW: 'No Idea' by Helen Black

What happens is a wonderful feeling of the ‘here and now’ through using this research as living, edible source material.
