art & writing
Odes / June 2024
I made a list of all the poets who influence my writing and thinking; people whose work I have loved, who have comforted me in hard times and spurred me on with their generosity and energy as I set to work on my own writing. All of the poets on my list were blackfellas. As my list coalesced, I wondered how many of these poets had also influenced each other, too?
Liminal Vol. II / November 2021
Digitised April 2024.
Synthesis / November 2023
This is a time of crisis, and it has been for some time.
Here: Eros and the Like / July 2023
I never want to fall in love? But okay. As though there’s a choice between politics and desire.
Mirror / October 2022
Presenting us with an image we can barely evade, mirrors test the exact boundary between self-concept and self-recognition.
Haunt / November 2022
Where and to whom do we belong? In what language do we dream, what is the taste of comfort?
Sanctuary / August 2022
bell hooks writes about the life of the mind as a ‘refuge, a sanctuary where I could experience a sense of agency and thereby construct my own subject identity.’ Sanctuaries used to be places of worship—what is sacred or divine to you?
Lucky / July 2022
The right person / getting onto the wrong train / at the right time.
Time / January 2021
Time flows thick; we shift between past and present, looking furtively at the ever-fracturing future. A moment becomes a day becomes a year, as we layer temporalities, our bodies the only marker of time as it rushes past.
Community / December 2020
Stretching through and across, lines taut, as we ask another: is affection just another word for love? What is it to be an artist, to be a failure; what is it to dedicate, to fascinate, to live?
Taste / October 2020
We’re sweet, we’re sour, we’re umami. Taste so indelibly baked into our senses that consumption cannot exist without it.
Interiors / August 2020
A room with a view, a window to other worlds. When the outside becomes inside and inside becomes outside, what marks the shift?
Glitch / June 2020
Can we take a glitch and re-fashion it to suit the mood? Can a glitch be a sign of disaffection, of continued existence, of intimacy?
Perfection / June 2019
Perfection makes us dream and dare; it nudges us along our daily duties;
it wakes us up in the middle of the night.
