This comic is NOT a substitute for any medical advice. If you feel you have similar issues, please seek a medical professional. I’ve included a short list of resources on the back cover of the comic for people to learn more, for themselves or for loved ones...This comic took a lot of courage for me to release.

London, UK 2012

Description: Close-up photographs of concrete textures and pages of the rubbings from them.
No title or author's marks full page images with white border.
Peter Ainsworth is an artist and lecturer based in London, UK.  His recent work concentrates on the relationship between inorganic and organic structures as a way to explore how we see objects and indeed to inquire into a world where the human is not central to relations between things. He examines these concerns with reference to architectural forms and in particular to spaces that are often overlooked, areas that are on the peripheries of urban environments but without which the city would not fit together.
