When I was Writer in Residence at the Abbotsford Convent last year, I drafted my first book of creative nonficiton, which includes pencil drawings and wobbly photographs of the heritage gardens through the old hand-threaded windows.

On a Jacky Winter Waters residency last year I began plotting out a new work of nonfiction while staring at the ocean.

In my fourth book Jam Sticky Vision you’ll find the piece, ‘How Will I Know When I’m Home’, written during a Hot Desk Fellowship at The Wheeler Centre.

My third book New Works on Paper contains a sequence of poems based on a Creative Fellowship at The State Library of Victoria (SLV); this sequence was also turned into a song on Double Portrait. I also completed a series of ephemeral newspaper-pencil drawings, which were photographed in situ by the SLV.

The writing during my three-month Asialink residency at Sanskriti Kendra in Delhi, via Vietnam, became my second book, Balance.

On my Varuna Fellowship residency in the Blue Mountains, I drafted more than half of the poems in my first book, Lemon Shark.
