“I chose my Home to be photographed, the place where I think, dream, design, create, plan protest — using words, my garden, textiles. I interweave creativities in this ‘homespace’ inhabited by friends, family, books, trees, fabric, bursting with memories, infused with the politics of my hopes for Living.

Words are my space to play, to co-create and share ideas on justice for queer, crip, feminist anti-racist spaces — courses, exhibitions, banners, articles, poetry — activism in action.

The garden was built by friends when I most needed it, love translated to earth, a refuge to share back with them and with others worn down by the daily fight for rights and survival. I design space to relax, energise and revitalise, choose plants to delight the senses, grow flavours that awaken tastebuds.

Coloured threads I have loved since I was a small child, sewing new clothes, repairing torn ones, piecing together sculptural forms from fabric (old and new), collected over time. Ideas become material objects — political hope and justice.

My connecting spaces recycle desire and potentials, weave land and people, living and dreaming, the making and the thinking, a space to go out from, to return to. Home.”
