Biog
I’m a writer artist editor with a background in photography and architecture. My published work ranges from short story to non/fiction, from guidebooks to sound installations and digital writing. In 2009 I completed a commission for an artist-led regeneration vision for Leysdown, Isle of Sheppey, which I can almost see from the beach at Whitstable.
What do you do?
I write spaces into existence using words, images and sounds.
What do you love?
Working so intently on editing my book for delivery on 1 February, fuelled by adrenaline, the process was rewarding and major changes happened on the page and in my head.
Where are you going next?
Either to the waiting room (to continue with a series on the state, activity, architecture and place of waiting) or back to Leysdown to work on the vision becoming ‘live’. Both, I hope.
What would you like to talk about?
Who are you writing for, and how does this influence what you’re writing?
