How did you become involved in artist’s books?

Making books began as a way of finding a home for words that spilt out
of me. As I learned the scope of materials, the books I made became as

What is the focus of your practice?

Self-publishing high-quality books, that are attractive, and
financially viable, and writing fiction and narrative non-fiction.

What are you working on at the moment?

A photobook that collages modern-brutalist photos, and a novella about
toxic masculinity.
