CREATIVE PRACTICE
Art and Books
Having often been told that my art wasn’t ‘good enough’, I have found immense solace in the idea of Bad Art. Over time, I’ve also come to believe that art isn’t just about making things. It shows up in quieter ways too. In planning a day around it, arranging objects in ways that feel joyful, or watching a friend pick up a balloon and start drawing caricatures. Art finds its way into everything around me, and I try to hold as much space for it as I can. This gallery is one way of giving it some of that space here, and a warm invitation for you to pick up a crayon too!
Books
I’m shaped by the books I’ve read. Some of them have meant so much to me that I can’t help but wish more people read them.
I hope you feel as much as I did when I read this.
My number one of all time. Hope exists in pockets and this book will give you enough of it to last a lifetime.
Révolution!
One day, I will also be a travel journalist!
The notion of family is inherently capitalistic in nature. I hope you find ways to care for yourself and your loved ones in a healthier way through this book.
Paul Kalanithi, I wish I could read more from you.
Broke and healed my heart at the same time somehow.
What an eye-opener. I truly love a well written non-fic.
The funniest essays of all time! Sedaris will make you fall in love with the simplicity of life.
Gave me hope :')
Solnit is by far my favourite non-fic writer. Lose yourself in her beautiful prose.
This made me want to learn all languages ever.
Quite an essential read.
Chomsky and Pappé strive to talk to the masses, and that makes me respect them so much more!
Pick this up immediately if you're struggling to find your way back to reading.
I wish I could sit for a lecture by Kerry Brown.
I hope you sit with the discomfort this brings up.
My first ever graphic novel! Marjane Satrapi, the woman that you are!
