Collaboration with Skein Press

I am excited to announce a new collaboration with Skein Press, a publisher who supports writers traditionally underrepresented in Irish literature by publishing beautiful, thought-provoking books.

I have been commissioned for their upcoming Solstice Stories, an innovative series that showcases the work of contemporary writers and artists. For this book ‘Waking Light’, I will be collaborating with writers Mícheál McCann and Kerri ní Dochartaigh, and photographer Michelle Moloney.

As book artist for this project, I will develop the concept for the book structure and design, responding to the work of the other collaborators. I will then handmake a limited edition of 300 books.

‘Waking Light’ will be launched on the 21st of June to mark the Summer Solstice, 2022. For more on Waking Light, see https://skeinpress.com/solstice-stories/
