I am currently on a month-long residency at Wallace Stegner House in Eastend, Saskatchewan. I am here to trace my grandfather’s 5 year sojourn in Western Canada. He arrived in Eastend, age 26 in Sept 1922 intending to begin a new life farming on the Canadian prairies.
I am exhibiting a new wall-based video installation in the Woolwich Open, Thames-Side Studios, June 15th-23rd.

During August 2024 I will be writer-in-residence at the Wallace Stegner House in Eastend, Saskatchewan, researching the locations and background for a semi-fictionalised account of the six years my grandfather spent in Western Canada during the early 1920’s, which began in Eastend.
Wallace Stegner (February 18, 1909 – April 13, 1993) was an American novelist, writer, environmentalist, and historian. His autobiographical book “Wolf Willow: A History, a Story, and a Memory of the Last Plains Frontier” (1962), describes in detail the period Stegner spent in Eastend. The house he lived in from age 7 to 12 was restored by the Eastend Arts Council in 1990 and established as a Residence for Artists.
