Fiction writer based in Edinburgh. I write stories about art.
I have been thinking about #Manet and his women
As a painter fluent in the visual vocabulary of #art history Manet recalled the poses of a classical Venus
Yet, the women of his day do not tease or titillate: instead they stare out mournfully from behind bars or meet the male gaze with sad defiance

Hi everyone! I am coming towards the end of a first novel draft and thought it was a good time to start checking out Bluesky
I am a writer and an #art obsessive. I will probably be talking about #literature and painting on here and sharing stories about artists - connect if that sounds good to you!
