This Suit, my debut poetry pamphlet, was released in 2021 by OrangeApple Press (now closed). Its companion film of the same name was included in the SQIFF 2021 line-up. My second pamphlet, Heart Eyes, was released February 2022.
I have contributed editorially to Knight Errant Press and NiiJournal. In 2023, I was proud to provide a response to the work of Motoko Ishibashi in a collaboration with Robert's gallery, Glasgow. In 2023, I collaborated with Bonjour and Tom Joyes, resulting in a city-wide billboard project ✮ Yes, I can see the stars ✮ . This project was featured in Dazed Digital, and included a printed broadsheet.
In 2024, I was chosen as a mentee for the upcoming anthology Fierce Salvage, to be published by 404 Ink in 2025.
I have hosted several zine workshops, for example with Free Pride, and taught creative writing privately in one-to-one and group classes. I have a background in English Language teaching and currently work in a college library.
Broadly, my work explores queerness and the body from a character-based perspective that plays with genre. The tension between christianity and queerness is explored in my debut novel Jesus Freaks, as well as my poetry, featured in Daughterhood Zine and Water Wings. My written work often involves strong visual elements, for example the visual poetry pamphlet, This Suit.
I believe in liberation and equality for all. Therefore, I condemn the continued genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people, and colonialism everywhere. Free Palestine. Land Back.
