My research is currently examining literature and history as a site of interiority versus performance, expressly in relation to the 'silent decade' of John Ruskin, 1890-1900.  I am writing an epistolary novel which formulates an archetypal storytelling structure of 'the prophet's journey', in part by mapping Biblical narratives onto Ruskin's 'intellectually anguished' path of spiritual and social development. My creative practice utilises my critical investigation of Ruskin’s letters, diaries and bible annotations to accurately and engagingly characterise his person and experience.
