You may have seen I’ve not done much @fictionfound stuff recently. It peaked in the months building up to 2020, when the value of all my commissions and grants for the year ahead would have paid me a salary — a place to grow Found Fiction as a self-sustaining enterprise of sorts.
BRADFORD IS #CityofCulture2025💥

People who visited the installation then got to share Christmas with these five households and even write them cards, which we delivered! 🎅
It’s exciting to know we connected so many different people across Leeds through this project. Merry Christmas all! x
My Christmas Home closes today! It’s been an amazing privilege bringing to life so many festive stories from across Leeds 🎄
We filmed Christmas moments in five households — ranging from a refugee family to a student flatshare — and re-created their homes in an installation 🎥
So good to be partnering with @EmmausLeeds on the #mychristmashome installation!
Excited to give our visitors the chance to experience Christmas Day with three Emmaus companions via audio-visual projections and recordings — come visit us in Bond Court 😀
Ribbon cutting! 🎀Yesterday we went down to Bond Court in #Leeds to view the #MyChristmasHome art installation which features a film about Emmaus Leeds and 3 companions; Tony, Alan and Dave. Showing from 14-21st Dec.

Today we’re at @KirkgateCentre as part of Bradford Science Festival!
We’re asking “what makes you grow?” — food, exercise, love, we’ve had lots of suggestions so far…
We’ll be sharing how our tree blossoms over the course of the day 🍂
It feels good to be back at @YorkStJohn leading some seminars with @YSJWriting students.
Writing is my first love and will always be my primary way of connecting with the world — so I’m totally in my element helping the next generation develop their creative vision.
