As a visual artist and storyteller, I work with ink, collage, thick paper and wood to create print and drawing portfolios, installations and to work towards a book, under the title The End of Oil.
A sample: In the collection Bedtime Story, a prologue, I ask: what are the stories we are telling children about this moment in time - hidden in the substance of everything we say and do, that enters at their most vulnerable places of love and fear, like a bedtime story.
