Nothing Personal Magazine | January 2021
Nothing Personal is a new magazine for art, essays and reviews, based in Glasgow, co-founded by Calum Sutherland, Maria Howard, Esther Draycott and Kiah Endelman Music.
The pilot issue includes writing and reviews by Neil Clements, Esther Draycott, Kiah Endelman Music, Maria Howard, Loll Jung, Aman Sandhu, Calum Sutherland and Swapnaa Tamhane, and artworks and images by Rosie Dowd-Smyth, Rhett Leinster, Lindsey Jean McLean, Oliver McConnie and Julia Tulke.
My article, Much of it Means Nothing, critiques the lack of meaningful care or action behind so-called ‘statements of commitment’ that art institutions seem to endlessly churn out around crucial issues including anti-racism, sustainability and fair pay.
EIDIT, Art Writing MLitt Thesis | October 2019
EIDIT is an extended lyric centred on the figure of Lot’s Wife, who turns her back against ‘God’ toward Sodom and is turned to a pillar of salt.

She has become only a warning to never look back. This text is a will, an attempt, to think her otherwise: hers is a body of knowledge. I am living with a ghost.
