My writing practice is evolving alongside my studio work. I am currently developing new texts grounded in locality, attunement, and material noticing. Click on the images below to read selected writing.
Almost settled : jewelling at the edges of place : an exegesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts at Massey University, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa New Zealand
Abstract. I’m from Wales but with few close relatives anchoring me to my homeland, I migrated to Aotearoa New Zealand in 2018. My Britishness offered me reassurance and familiarity, yet I also came to see how my heritage complicated the act of settling. After the occasional embarrassing cultural misstep, came humility and a desire to know more about this place I wanted to call home. This marked the beginning of a slow, reflective process to figure out how to operate in the context of a new place and what it means to belong.
