about

I am a storyteller and a poet.

I use words and thread, pencil and needle, paper and fabric.

my work is an ongoing conversation with myself.

I do not fit into a box.

June 9, 2018

it took

me

a lifetime to realise

that it is perfectly

ok

to walk away from

the people

who would bruise

the soft roundness

of me,

with their

square boxes.

—I do not fit into a box.
