Slimy and slipping between mind and matter, Did You See My Eyes Mum involves exploration of attachment, queerness, capitalism, privatisation, sex & power. The writing is an exercise of the narrator's emotional processing; by weaving together various spheres in their life, the links between them become apparent. The work begins to tap into patterns of anxiety, with attention to its sources being both intimate and systemic. Keeping to a kind of musicality, the work comes to life when read aloud. Upon first look, the mix of format can be categorised into 'prose' and 'poetry', however the form is much more dependent on rhythm and feeling. In fact, categorisation is exactly what tit resists. As the relationships and ideas of self, relating to gender and consumption, are deconstructured the form is mobile. There is a tone of questioning and vulnerability. From opening up spaces of childhood trauma, to discussing gender politics with a spider, Did You See My Eyes Mum is not afraid to peel back wounds and find the lightness in confrontation.
