Home is a short publication I made documenting the story of a pigeon fancier. 

Following a lot of research about the history and surrounding culture of homing, I began exploring the parallel ideas of home - the way the men create a home in their community, and the way their pigeons find their way back to them. 

The story is a fictional narrative, drawing upon essays, interviews and articles I have found or recorded myself.

One fancier said, 'I don't think anybody knows how they do it, something to do with magnets.'

Perhaps the pigeon's homing instinct is the same as the magnetic pull that seems to bring people back home to the North East.

Extracts from 'Lessons from Auschwitz', a zine

I was lucky enough to be able to take part in Lessons from Auschwitz, a scheme which takes groups of students to visit Auschwitz Birkenhau. 

Having found the experience hugely overwhelming and emotional, I didn't know how to share the feelings that the visit gave me, let alone pass on the experience. I chose to produce this zine of illustrations and quotes from Holocaust survivors, knowing that the only lessons we can truly learn from Auschwitz are from those who really experienced it.
