'carve, hew, adze…' is a work of speculative fiction about an autonomous community in a countryside of the future. It considers the tools, objects and methods of a woodworkers' coop after the decline of the metropolis.
Alongside this, a quote from postcolonial theorist and poet Édouard Glissant similarly rejects the countryside as solely a place of conservatism, alternate histories suggest that ‘the countryside is also the place where there are revolutions’.
