A gathering of some of my multi-artform, cross-media writing & design thinking and creations.
After writing my PhD on the topic many years ago, my practice and research now overtly focuses on plurality, in many forms. In the different media we create with, release with, many audiences we design with and for, and the different realities co-existing in the world and our work. I am currently drafting a non-fiction book on all this, and how making feels like from the inside (rather than the usual stuff we see around on top-down notions of canon control, etc), as well as drafting some online courses for public access.
