November, 2025.

I am an image-maker. I’ve written screenplays, directed short films, made art and devised installations, but now I make images through words and what lies hidden beneath them. I write every minute I can. If I didn’t write, it would feel as if I’ve lost something, as if I’m searching everywhere to find it again.

I am a queer writer who lives with a chronic illness. I am currently working on the second draft of a creative non-fiction manuscript currently titled The Red Coat. Settings include the Arctic, an intentional rural community, a circus, a hospital and a city street. Tinged with lyricism, humour and hope, this work examines the past through the lens of today’s world.

Two of these essays have been published in literary journals. Two hundred and sixty-two days reflects on Covid isolation and the solace offered through the natural world. The Red Coat explores trauma resulting from witnessing an incident in Kalaallit Nunaat/Greenland, as well as colonialism and climate change. Another essay, Instructions for Living was short-listed for the Narrative Non-Fiction Prize at the 2024 City of Melbourne Writing awards.

In between working on my creative non-fiction manuscript, I am building a poetry collection which incorporates two of my published poems, Fragments of a Divided World and Following. Find out more about my writing here.
