I favour magical realism in my choice of reading - narratives which stimulate the imagination and create vivid pictures in the mind’s eye. In art, I’m generally drawn to surrealism and artists who present their inner worlds more than the world they see with their eyes around them. Creating new worlds through words and pictures feels like magical thinking. Recently I’ve been working with ideas about the unconscious associations we make in our everyday surroundings - superstitions we’ve buried but linger inside us. Remnants of a past where we lived through folklore, reading omens from nature and our everyday surroundings, living by acts of everyday magic.
