I’ve always loved writing. As a kid I wrote poetry, as a teen i wrote dreadful poetry, and as an adult I listed my recently-sacked self as a writer on my ill-fated marriage certificate and have often included some level of text within projects.
However, as a broke artist I have strictly limited my online publications to those that fit the free membership of platforms – I can’t afford to commit to a fee that I’ll likely not be in a position to keep up with – so when my usual publisher vastly restricted my output I found a new one. Which doesn’t have page number limitations! (for now…)
So for your enjoyment and perusal I’ve uploaded four of my favourite past publications to Heyzine – hope you find them joyous! Click on the image to be taken to the flipbook.
When I Was A Child I Wanted To Be A Cryptid (2015)
Written to accompany my first solo exhibition at The Wig, the hard copy of this is available via Amazon.
Down The Cake Hole (2022)
Written as part of my one-night-only show at Vivid Projects this publication includes historic cake, recipes and a lot about what cake means to me
Fraternity (2024)
A catalogue of individuals residing within the University of Sheffield Alfred Denny Museum and written as part of More Than Human – CW Human Remains
Probably Cursed
(Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Cock A Snook At The Universe) (2024)
Written at the culmination of my residency with Stryx JQ, this is the first time it’s been together as a single publication (because – page counts).
I’ll be putting together a specific publications page with embeds, but for now – enjoy!
