Slit Collective

Julia Dudycz

''Julia Dudycz (b. Poland, 1998) is a writer and a visual artist, working with traditional drawing methods, mono-printing and embroidery. Aiming to explore the lived experience in her work, she focuses on themes such as interpersonal relationships, sexuality, grief and nostalgia. The work frequently takes on a cathartic role by acting as a journal.

She graduated from BA Illustration at Leeds Art University, and currently still resides in the city.

Clarke Lear

Clarke Lear is a poet and song-writer that often explores a fictional character’s place in a world, whether that be through gender, race, or emotional connection to others. Their first project, Inside Kilns, was an autofictional piece about growing up mixed race in Stoke-on-Trent. 

After a year hiatus, they joined Slit and were a part of the first edition of Have you left yet at Hyde Park Book Club. 

They graduated in English Literature at the University of Leeds in 2021. Outside of art, they scramble a lot of eggs at work, and drink a lot of free coffee.

Jonny Winter (he/him)

I finished uni last April and I’m sitting on a Northern Rail window seat waiting to graduate indistinctly, sometime in December apparently. Right now I’m looking out - the trees hide the fields cover for them without discretion.

September winters bravely, unknowing itself at each turn of the rail. the air is pumping our lungs with crisp unfeeling, and everyone has forgotten their ticket today.

and i’m a bit rusty at writing, but i take film photos, write songs and occasionally poems.

Who we are today

Is nothing less than a culmination

Of every interaction

We’ve ever had.

I’m thankful for all of mine.
