Columnist, Her Evil Twin
Tell me about your column and your latest projects.
I just finished writing a column for Mamazine and now I'm taking on my alter ego and wading into the depths of all other things that keep me sane and obsessing. Books, music, film, photography, ideas, theories, philosophical meanderings, all wrapped up in a black patent leather choker.
Who or what are the biggest influences on your work and If you could pick one person to collaborate with dead or alive who would you pick?
Raymond Carver helped me to find and write about the extraordinary within the ordinary. I would love to spend a few months with Hunter S.Thompson and make something ethereal and combustible.
