Non Mountain is a collaboration with Chrystal Cherniwchan and Craig Tattersall where the two tracks on a 10″ vinyl and the 84 pages of a book explore mappings of real and imaginary journeys to high places in text, sound and photographic images – and the ways all these can come together and fall apart.

“A Dog” review
A great essay in the Glasgow Review of Books about “A Dog at the Edge of Things,” the review makes connections that I had always really wanted someone to notice after all these years plying the 100-word trade (!) but also suggests other completely unanticipated associations that both surprise and delight. What Berridge says about…… Continue reading “A Dog” review

“A Dog at the Edge of Things”
A compilation of 21 years of ‘field notes,’ gathered from various projects, published by JOAN with wonderful blurbs from Suzanne Walsh and Gareth Evans. Leaning over the bed, I tilt and shake my shoes, wary that the mate of the centipede killed yesterday could still be at large.
