Thanks to Fran, the gallery and those who helped organize today’s reading. Was lovely to be surrounded by art for a reading – the photographs of the tattoo art on display were quite phenomenal. Brilliant work from Nomi Chi, Joel Rich and others. Great to read alongside JD Morden and Timothy Shay – and I appreciated the chance to write towards the art. A task, to be sure, but good to be challenged and dragged out of the comfort zone. Whatever that is.
Have begun work on a new collaboration with artist / photographer / videographer Colin Askey on Catherine Owen’s Visualelegies, a project looking at mourning, loss and grief through two artists in concert. We went aboard the SS Master, a boat my father worked on for years, and shot a number of photographs of both the boat and some artefacts from my late father. Looking forward to writing towards his photos and the resulting ensemble.
