I’m inspired by invention and the opportunity to craft something new from scratch. I’m inspired by remixing and being subversive. I am inspired by disruption and tenderness. I am inspired by imagination. I am inspired by grief, mourning and lament. I believe deeply in vulnerable, generative spaces for healing. I am inspired by rest, daydreaming and sleep (Hersey, 2022).
