Personal writing

Observations on everyday culture, written in my own voice

A notebook of cultural commentary, material habits and the small details I keep returning to.

How I write

I keep coming back to the small details; they often tell me more than the official explanation.

This is how I read it, though I know another person might see something different. I want to make room for the question before rushing to a neat answer.

Everyday culture

Reading the queue at the bakery

The margins of the page

On handwritten notes, pencilled corrections and the marks people leave behind, and why I think they deserve more attention than the printed text.
