new roles for the physical book
in our fast-paced, digital, impermanent world
In this ongoing research project, I am making objects which symbolise our relationship with physical books. No longer relevant as our main source of information, ‘real’ books are rapidly disappearing from our homes, schools and workplaces, leaving a void which is much bigger than simply information.

means ‘pulling out all the stops’)
In July of 2023, I was interviewed by Margret Petrie for her wonderful podcast Authentic Obsessions. In her conversations with artists, Margret goes in search of what drives us, what our stumbling blocks are, how we find support and renewed energy, and our authentic obsession, the thing which runs deep in our lives and our art. Whenever I listen to Margret’s conversations with artists, I feel uplifted by a sense that there are people out there just like me!
