A person you love. A place you keep returning to. A question you haven’t quite found a way to ask. Tell me what has been on your mind, and we can see where it might lead.
Our conversation might lead to a story you can linger over, a visual reconstruction of a remembered place, a film, a song, or an interactive experience you can explore at your own pace.
The form depends on what we discover, what captures your imagination, and what you might enjoy returning to.
You don’t need a finished idea, a complete archive, or a story ready to tell. A few sentences are enough to begin. We can talk about what interests you, look at relevant examples together, and consider what would be worth making.
An old photograph or a name can become a trail through magazines, maps and archives. Sometimes the most interesting thing is what we find along the way.
I follow someone’s musical taste, my own associations, and the small things I notice when we listen together. The song can change quite a lot before it finds its feet.
I take responsibility for the research and creative direction, staying closely involved from our first conversation through the finished work.
When I bring something back, we can explore it together—what feels familiar, what surprises you, what doesn't quite fit, and what you'd like to understand better. Those conversations help us decide what to refine and what might be worth exploring next.
Tell me what you have in mind. We can discuss possibilities, relevant work and an indication of cost.
02
A proposal, agreed together
I suggest a direction, scope, timing and fee. We also agree on what you would like to keep private and how the finished work will be shared.
03
Conversation, research and creation
We follow the memories, questions and materials. I investigate, write, experiment and refine, returning to you as the work develops.
04
A presentation and the next step
We explore what has been made, discuss refinements, and arrange the agreed copies and access.
Life afterward
Made for you. A life beyond the screen.
Return when you feel like it
Read a little, listen to a song, or follow a discovery you missed the first time. The work can become a place you enjoy returning to.
Something to share in person
Sit beside someone you love and explore together. A photograph or a song can give a conversation somewhere to begin.
A way into another generation
Give children and grandchildren a way to meet the person behind the family stories—and somewhere to bring their own questions.
Let the room join in
A personal song, a surprising discovery, or a familiar place can find a different life when friends are together.
Something to hold
A book, a letter or an art print may suit the work. We can consider the forms you would most enjoy keeping.
A gift with someone in mind
A birthday, an anniversary, or simply an invitation to spend time together can be the beginning.
Leave room for another chapter
One recollection may lead to another person, a new source, or something you decide to make together next.
Choose your own audience
You decide who is invited into your work. Public examples are selected separately from the private experience.
Scope & fee
Let’s find what’s worth making.
The fee depends on the questions we follow, the materials involved, the depth of research, and the forms we choose to make. After our initial conversation, I’ll send a proposal with the scope and fee before commissioned work begins.
These providers offer different scopes; their prices give a sense of the industry.
For someone you love
Give someone an encounter.
Family members and friends can contribute together. We’ll agree on the scope and fee before arranging the gift, and the recipient chooses what they want to talk about and share.
A first project can lead to another conversation, a new discovery, or a continuing collaboration. We can decide on the next chapter when there is something worth following.
Nothing is required for our first conversation. If there is a photograph, a question or a piece of writing you would like me to see, you can start there.
Do I have to tell my whole life story?+
No. We might begin with one room, one relationship, or something you are interested in now.
Can I see relevant examples?+
Yes. Tell me a little about what you have in mind and I can share selected examples or arrange a viewing, with the people’s permission. The journal also offers a way into how I think and work.
Can the finished work stay private?+
Yes. We agree on who can see the work. Any public use of personal material is a separate conversation.
How do you use AI?+
I use AI in research and creative production, alongside interviews, original materials and my own writing and judgment. Historical sources and imagined scenes are kept distinct.
Two Dots, One Line
Shall we see what we find?
Tell me a little about the person, place or idea you have in mind.
