I’m a writer and artist based in Johannesburg. The first draft of my novella, Lagoon, won the inaugural First Drafts series and was published by Kunstverein in Summer 2022. In 2025, I’ll be commencing a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of the Western Cape. My project explores the intersection of research, memoir and fiction.
