Number 26 to Elsewhere

I am very excited that my piece, End of the Line,  has been published on the blog of the Elsewhere: A Journal of Place. 

It tells the tale of a rather unusual bus journey to the end of the line in Edinburgh, a discovery of an industrial museum, witness to centuries of change and my own transition in moving to a new city and country. 

'Elsewhere is a journal dedicated to writing and visual art that explores the idea of place in all of its forms, whether city neighbourhoods or island communities, heartlands or borderlands, the world we see before us or landscapes of the imagination.'

I have been a fan of the Elsewhere for quite some time, enamoured of the print journal's beautiful design and illustration by Creative Director, Julia Stone, and impressed by the photo essays and high quality writing, selected by Editor in Chief, Paul Scraton. The latest issue, no.4, is available here. 

Edinburgh and Elsewhere

Last weekend I took part with the Edinburgh and Elsewhere team at the Artists' BookMarket at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh.  We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the book fair, chats with visitors and other book artists. I picked up quite a few books myself.

I launched my new book 'Fleetway', a story inspired by a failed roll of film and set at the Cammo estate in Edinburgh, in an edition of 100. 

It was designed by Julia Stone, the creative director of Elsewhere: A Journal of Place.

From this Friday, 'Fleetway' will be for sale at the Summerhall shop in Edinburgh. 

The Edinburgh and Elsewhere team are continuing their collaboration at the upcoming Artist' Books and 'Zine Fair BOOKMARKS on the 29 March 2017 at Edinburgh College of Art.
