I am currently in the process of working on or contributing to various forthcoming publications which will hopefully be in print next year (2024) including: ‘Confluence of Influence, and the Struggle of Differentiation’ a textual artefact and accompanying research exposition in Contingent Agencies (eds.) Alex Arteaga and Nikolaus Gansterer; ‘Liberated from Language: Punctuation’s Performativity in the Absence of Words’ — artists’ pages in Performing Punctuation, (eds.) Julieanna Preston and Anna Brown; ‘Choreo-graphic Writing: Towards More-than-one Means of Inscription’ — a collaborative chapter and research exposition with Nikolaus Gansterer and Mariella Greil in Writing Choreography: Extending the Conventions of Dance, (eds.) Leena Rouhiainen, Kirsi Heimonen, Rebecca Hilton and Chrysa Parkinson. I am also now in the final stages of working with BEAM Editions on the design for my second collection of creative prose, How Do You Do? More on these various publications soon!
