Artist state­ment –

Since 1999 I col­lat­ed scraps of paper, diary notes and typed word doc­u­ments all per­tain­ing to the idea of the inexpressible.

When in 2010 I final­ly did reach a final draft, I also realised I had gen­er­at­ed a his­to­ry of doc­u­ments that said some­thing about the process of writ­ing itself. For Orphan I present both my final tale and the archae­ol­o­gy of that writ­ing process.”
