The Harris have acquired this black lycra binder, hand painted with flowers and the words ‘When in Bloom’.

The binder was created by Ollie Coles, a tattoo artist based here in Preston. Ollie painted the binder as a reaction to the transphobia he experienced, but in a positive way.

‘When in Bloom’ refers to coming into yourself, progress, growth and becoming the person you truly are. The Harris acquired Ollie’s binder so we can share and preserve his story with our communities and for future generations.
