News about my work

Fairytales are at the heart of our experiences of what is magical in life, they are enjoyed by young and old and they can have a cathartic effect, they speak of deep and strong emotions and they speak to our subconscious, they can be unsettling yet liberating at the same time, my new fairytales hopefully offer the reader a world beyond the mundane and stereotyped experience. The stories aim to unsettle the ‘product’ our experiences by now often are ‘supposed’ to be, like for instance at the moment our mental health as a product is something we are entitled to and we can buy, or we can gain, or we can construct, like a product it is advertised as being made or produced by the experts! In many ways this seems to infantilise our personal capacity to know our own hearts and souls, fairy tales speak of that experience of our most intimate soul and self that we can share with others but which can not be produced.
