Tabloid newspaper with hand assembled art print, ‘looking for a friend for someone to hold’.

Photographs of broken trees and writing without punctuation recall the evening a gang of queer bashers set out to attack a young man out cruising alone in the early 1980s.

‘I watch as a group of men a gang of about ten come towards me from the road ahead some carry baseball bats others have clenched fists at the ready to deliver a blow’
