Talking About A Revolution
Released as part of the 40th edition of The Griffith Review in April 2013, this was my first formally published piece of work. I wrote it at [the] urging of the incredible Julianne Shultz, editor of the Review at the time, whom I served with on the Queensland Design Council.

Who knew it would be the beginning of an entirely new career?
