This zine contains a collection of essays that seek to shed light on the psychedelic and spiritual underbelly of the British Isles, expanding upon the first issue of Undefined Boundary with all-new material.
The introduction to each issue of Undefined Boundary encapsulates the moment in which it was written, situating this project alongside the socio-cultural context in which it was created. Each issue of this zine expands upon what ‘Psychick Albion’ means, and what can be accomplished through the exploration of media and strangeness that will ultimately fade into nostalgia if no further attention is given to it (the phenomenon of crop circles is given as a specific example of this 'fading' in the introduction of this issue.) 'Volume One Issue Two' is the longest so far at 170 pages, and features full-colour illustrations throughout. A custom bookmark is included that matches the illustration found on the inside cover.
