COMPOST is an independent art publication showcasing creative work from a wide-ranging network of artists, performers, academics, writers and collectors.

Adorned, fetishised, derided, weaponised. Grown to make a rope ladder for a lover; or shorn, to destroy superhuman strength. A reminder that we are only ever, after all, human animals beneath our pelts. Sheltering, preening, shedding. This issue tells hairy tales. Straight, curly, short, and long ones. Braiding the folkloric, the monstrous, and the fabulous.
