Parallel Lives = Writing
Writing explores the tension between structure and emotional return.
It begins with a line — and allows language and absence to shape it.
Meaning fractures, then circles back.
Rhythm falters, then steadies.
The unbroken line continues.
Installation concept for Parallel lives
Parallel Lives unfolds as manuscript, installation and print.
A circle of text that leaves the page, inhabits space, finds its voice and returns to the line.
Developing manuscript.
Released with the exhibition – Late summer / Autumn.

Poem from Parallel Lives
I've been walking with a crack in my shadow
As l unfurled from being a child
Sensed space, saw patterns in the sofa
An empty silhouette - not quite alive
I breathed in the air that settled low
Discarding who I was
like clothes on the floor
But still a fragment kept moving
A narrow line of light
under the door
Cradled by an echo in my body
A towel and a story after bath time
Warm hands now long gone
Misplaced memories resurface
as if searching down the back of the chair
Lost pennies,
TV remote,
Crumbs.
