I first read Faulkner in high school, when one of my classmates reported that he was his favorite writer. Every one of us had to do the same; I’d spent a year or so reading Gabriel García Márquez’s work, so I did my report on Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude.

I was inspired to try my hand at making mosaics after visiting an exhibition of contemporary mosaic art in the USA. I loved the range of materials that the artists had used and the different surfaces and textures that they had created. I started by researching different methods and techniques on the Internet, gathering some supplies and then just experimenting with different materials and ideas.

Books played a huge role in my formative years, but it was only when I discovered gothic horror in my adolescence that I became obsessed with them. All other genres were promptly forgotten about. I read every story I could get my hands on, regardless of author, origin, or even plot, because it was the darkness and the haunting use of language that I found so irresistible.

‘Today in class, I will teach you how to build a car. Here is a photograph of a car. These are the wheels. This is the engine. Here are the headlamps. These are all the other parts you need to build the car. Now I want you to build the car.’ My class stare at me blankly. A few who want to please me pick up a gear stick and a wing mirror and begin to sticky tape them together. Some tell me they hate building cars. Two car enthusiasts eagerly start building but soon become stuck.

I’ve always loved reading, but I didn’t come across medieval women’s writing until my second year of university. I remember being surprised that there were any female writers from the period at all (you almost never hear about them) and getting completely absorbed by their words.
