Conversations with Ghosts

This is where I collect write after encounters with ghosts. Every book, artwork, gallery floor, landscape, every sentence typed…carries the imprint of another being, their thoughts, their memory, their words, their paint, their fleshy fingers. Often I find I cannot write because the topic of yesterday’s reading slips away, I’ve latched on to a more recent thought or idea. SO, alongside collecting word-works, this is also a space where I write new scraps with: the thing I'm reading now. The work I saw today. The phrase someone said that won't stop circling. Each pixelpage is a trace of that meeting, between the living and their hauntings. In Fragments, typos will be had. Errors made. Revisions necessary.

Fragment by fragment, ghost by ghost.  I encounter them and something moves between us, a conversation that started before I arrived.
